## Verse 222
This verse refutes the claim that there are different types of earth, etc., within atoms. It also explains that sound is a synonym for the pudgala skandha.
**Verse 79:**
* **Sound originates from the skandha.**
* **The skandha is an aggregation of atoms.**
* **When these skandhas collide, sound is produced.**
* **This production of sound is constant.**
**Explanation:**
In this world, sound is perceived by the sense of hearing and understood by the mind. It is essentially a synonym for a single skandha composed of infinite atoms. It originates from the skandhas, which are the external causes, because sound is produced when these skandhas collide.
Furthermore, even though the entire world is filled with infinite, naturally occurring, sound-producing groups of atoms that interpenetrate and permeate everything, sound only manifests when there is an external cause. This means that sound is constantly produced, making it a product of the skandha.
**Anvayaartha (Meaning in order):**

* **The skandha is an aggregation of atoms.**
* **When these skandhas collide,**
* **Sound is produced.**
* **This production is constant.**
**Commentary:**
This verse demonstrates that sound is a synonym for the pudgala skandha.
