## Chapter 218: Description of the Six Substances and Five Subtle Bodies

**Verse 1:** The objects of the senses, which are described as the six substances and five subtle bodies, are extremely subtle and beyond the reach of karma. They are extremely subtle, ranging from those beyond the reach of karma to the subtle particles of the skandha.

**Commentary:**

* **General Meaning:** There are six types of pudgala (matter) - four objects of the senses (excluding earth, water, shadow, and visual objects), karma-worthy pudgala, and subtle skandhas formed by karma.
* **Specific Meaning:** There are six types of pudgala: (1) Gross-Gross, (2) Gross, (3) Gross-Subtle, (4) Subtle-Gross, (5) Subtle, (6) Subtle-Subtle.
* **Gross-Gross:** Those that cannot be reunited when broken down, such as mountains, earth, pots, and cloth.
* **Gross:** Those that can be reunited immediately when separated, such as ghee, oil, and water.
* **Gross-Subtle:** Those that can be seen but cannot be picked up and moved, such as shadow, sunlight, and light.
* **Subtle-Gross:** Those that cannot be seen with the eyes, such as air, taste, smell, and sound (objects of the other four senses).
* **Subtle:** Those that cannot be perceived by any sense, such as the pudgala that is the object of the jnana (knowledge) of the liberated soul.
* **Subtle-Subtle:** Those that are even subtler than karma, extending to the two-atom skandha.

**This verse is not found in the commentary by Amrit Chandra.**

**Thus, the first four verses of this chapter primarily focus on the explanation of the skandha.**

**Verse 2:** Next, the second chapter focuses on the explanation of the paramanu (atom).

**Verse 3:** The paramanu is described as having the qualities of eternity, non-sound, oneness, and indivisibility.

* **Eternity:** Just as the supreme soul is eternal due to its unchanging nature and existence as the cause of all things, the paramanu is also eternal due to its existence as pudgala.
* **Non-Sound:** Just as the pure soul, although the object of knowledge and self-awareness, is not sound, the paramanu, although the cause of sound, is not sound itself.
* **Oneness:** Just as the pure soul is one and without any dependence on anything else, the paramanu is also one and independent of any other substance.
* **Indivisibility:** Just as the supreme soul, although encompassing countless worlds, is indivisible because it is one and without parts, the paramanu is also indivisible because it is without parts.

**Verse 4:** The paramanu is also described as having the quality of being the source of form.

* **Source of Form:** The paramanu is the source of form because it is the origin of the tangible form that has touch, taste, smell, and color.

**Thus, the first verse of the second chapter describes the nature of the paramanu.**
