The section on the six divisions of the universe (Chhakhandagama)
[5, 6, 32]
From the half portion to the fourth portion is called the Dharmaastikadesha. The relationship of these Dharmaastikadeshas with their components should be known as Dharmaastikadeshabandha. From the fourth portion of the said Dharmaastikaya, the name of all the components is Dharmaastikapradesha and their mutual relationship is called Dharmaastikapradeshabandha. The same process should be known in relation to Adharmaastikaya and Aakaashaastikaya. The mutual relationship of the regions of these three Astikayas should be understood as Anadivisrasabandha.
The instruction for that which was called Sadivisrasabandha is as follows: dissimilar smoothness and dissimilar roughness are the cause of bondage. [32]
Here, the word Mada should be understood as similarity and the word Vimada should be understood as dissimilarity.
Similar smoothness and similar roughness are the cause of separation. [33]
The meaning is that smooth atoms do not bind with other smooth atoms and rough atoms do not bind with other rough atoms.
Smooth pudgala atoms do not bind with other smooth pudgala atoms. Similarly, rough pudgala atoms do not bind with other rough pudgala atoms. But similar and dissimilar smooth and rough pudgala atoms attain mutual bondage. [34]
The meaning is that smooth atoms with similar qualities do not bind with other smooth atoms and rough atoms with similar qualities do not bind with other rough atoms. But smooth and rough pudgala atoms, whether they are similar in terms of their form-quality-division-covering or dissimilar in terms of the said form-quality-division-covering, still bind with each other.
Two-quality smoothness and two-quality roughness are the cause of mutual bondage. [35]
The meaning is that smooth atoms which are two indivisible coverings more or less in their smoothness bind with each other. The same process should be known in the mutual bondage of rough atoms.
