(desenam, desehim) or completely (savvenam) (Viy. 233b). It must be noted, therefore, that the number of atoms constituting an aggregate may divide among one and several paesa.
The mergence of atoms and aggregates with atoms and aggregates is brought about (V1y 102b. 103b) by a sineha-kaya, though nothing concerning its nature is mentioned.1 T. 5, 32 introduces the contrasted pair of snigdha and rūksa, ‘smooth' and 'rough'.
As is the case with all sensuous qualities, also these two lukkha and niddha (V1y 638 b lukkhi and alukkhi) exist in gradations (guna), as is presupposed by V1y 878 a, whereas in V1y. 394 b they are but hinted at by vemāya-niddhayā etc. According to T 5, 33 the lowest grades will not merge because they lack sufficient power to assimilate (saktı Siddh), it takes at least two grades of difference to make this power effective (T. 5, 35), and that is why only equal grades-though only s+r, not s+s (T 5, 34)-will assimilate, and, accordingly, only the lower grade to the higher.
§60 Thus it follows that the atom, though as a substance it is eternal, is changeable in its conditions As to Viy. 640 a, colour, smell, taste, and touch are qualified as conditions, (pajjava). They are inherent in the substance (paryāya T. 5,37). But according to Pannav 5 (196b) pajjava also means the secondary differences of atoms and aggregates within each of the above mentioned four spheres and, moreover, within their size (ogāhanā). Their number is co, and thus it happens that they coincide with the parināma, the "accidental" changes and their results, which constitute the momentary being of an object (T 5, 41) As such the above mentioned four are referred to by Viy 420 b along with the shape (samthāna, see below). The latter is omitted by Than 201a. These five species as existing spontaneously (visasā) are contrasted with those caused by an impulse from without (paogasa) or either by the mixture of both
I Quite another kind of suhuma is the sineha-k which acc to Viy. 83b moves in all directions (pavadai) and thus dissolves rapidly in contrast to the bāyara äu-kaya
