The second verse deals with the refutation of the difference in the types of atoms like earth, etc.
**Translation:**
The five-pointed star, etc., are not differentiated by the region of existence. In reality, the region that is the beginning, middle, and end of the atom is the same as the region of the qualities like form, etc., or is called the form, etc. It is not seen by sight, so it is only a form by inference. The cause of the four elements is the atom, which is known to be the same atom that was mentioned earlier, which transforms into the four elements of earth, etc., over time. The quality of transformation is the quality of transformation, being devoid of the four states of arising, etc. Again, what is special? The meaning of the sutra is that it is itself non-sound, being different from the sound, which is a synonym for the mass of infinite atoms, due to its being one region.
**Explanation:**
The verse explains that atoms are not differentiated by their location or region. The same atom that constitutes the beginning, middle, and end of the atom is also the same as the region of qualities like form, etc. This atom is not seen by sight but is inferred from its qualities. The atom is the cause of the four elements (earth, water, fire, and air) and is the same atom that was mentioned earlier. It transforms into the four elements over time. The quality of transformation is the quality of transformation, being devoid of the four states of arising, etc. The atom is also non-sound, being different from the sound, which is a synonym for the mass of infinite atoms. This is because the atom is one region and is not a collection of many atoms.
