The description of the six substances and five astikayas (categories) involves measurement in terms of atoms and sub-atoms. This measurement is done using atoms, as sub-atoms are measured in relation to atoms. The unit of measurement for space is 'Akashapradesh' (space region), and its definition involves atoms. Therefore, the measurement of space is also done using atoms. The unit of measurement for time is 'Samaya' (time), and its definition involves atoms. Therefore, the measurement of time is also done using atoms. The unit of measurement for knowledge and emotions is the amount of knowledge required to know the smallest element of color, etc., which is present in an atom. This definition involves atoms. Therefore, the measurement of emotions (knowledge and emotions) is also done using atoms. In this way, atoms are like meters for measuring substances, space, time, and emotions.

One atom region is called 'Akashapradesh' (space region), which is a part of space. This 'Akashapradesh' is the unit of measurement for space. [For counting, the quantity of any object that is considered as one measurement is called the unit of that object.]

**3.** The time taken by an atom to move from one space region to another adjacent space region (at a slow speed) is called 'Samaya' (time).

**Commentary:**

An atom is established as being one region, and it is eternal. Why? Because an atom is always present in one region and never perishes. It is not empty, but it is empty in the sense that it provides space for its own qualities like color, etc. It is not empty in the sense that it is not empty of the second, third, etc., regions. It is the destroyer of the skandhas (aggregates). It is also the creator of the skandhas, like a living being. Just as a living being, due to its attachment to its own region, becomes transformed by the feeling of affection for the form of attachment, etc., and becomes the destroyer of the karmic skandhas, similarly, an atom, due to its attachment to its own region, becomes transformed by the feeling of affection and becomes the destroyer of the skandhas at the time of their disintegration. Just as the same living being, due to its detachment from the true self, becomes transformed by the feeling of affection for the false attachment, etc., in its own region, and becomes the creator of the karmic skandhas like the veil of knowledge, etc., similarly, the same atom, due to its feeling of affection in its own region, becomes the creator of the skandhas like the qualities of the body, etc. Here, the atom that is the destroyer of the skandhas is called the 'karyaparamanu' (effect atom), and the one that is the creator is called the 'karanaparamanu' (cause atom). Thus, there are two types of atoms: effect and cause. As it is said: "The first one is the destroyer of the skandhas, and the second one is the creator of the skandhas."

Alternatively, a second explanation is given regarding the destroyer. This atom is the destroyer. Why? Because it is one region, and it is different from the skandhas, which are many regions. This skandha is the skandha. Why? Because it is many regions, and it is different from the atom, which is one region.

Just like a living being, time and number are divided. Just as a liberated being, with only the knowledge of one region, divides the time of the experience of time and the number of time, similarly, an atom, with one region, divides the time of the experience of time by moving slowly from one atom to another.
