units of motion, rest and space, by oo units of soul and matter and, if at all, by o units of time.
a Minimum 3: in the case of one unit of motion resp. of rest in some corner at the end of the world where that unit is touched only by two lateral units and one unit above or below. Maximum 6: four lateral units, one above and one below. Minimum 4: in the case described for minimum 3 above; here the unit of motion resp. of rest is touched by the three units of rest resp. of motion mentioned there, but also by the one unit of rest resp. of motion coinciding (ogādha, see 4c below) with the given unit of motion resp. of rest. The maximum here of course is 7. Since units of space are found also in the non-world, there is no minimum and maximum here. d With measured time there is no contact at al (o) outside Samayakhetta. e Units of space are touched by units of motion, rest, soul and matter in the world, not (o) in the non-world. 'A unit of space may of course be touched by one etc. units of motion and rest only if it is situated on the boundary of the non-world; Abhay. enumerates the different possibilities. Abhay. quotes two vrddhôktagāthās. h No minimum and maximum here because Sama yakhetta does not reach the boundaries of the non-world.
