दव्वपरिवट्टरूवो जो सो कालो हवे ववहारो। परिणामादीलक्खो वट्टणलक्खो य परमट्ठो॥२१॥
davva-parivatta-rūvo jo so kālo havei vavahāro parināmādi-lakkho; vattana-lakkho 'ya paramattho.
The time which has the ability to change the substances is conventional (i.e. relative time), which is perceivable through modifications. But absolute (time) is perceivable through perduration.
लोयायासपदेसे इक्केक्के जे ठिया हु इक्केक्का। रयणाणं रासी इव ते कालाणु असंखदव्वाणि॥२२॥
loyāyāsa-padese ikk'-ekke je thiyā hu ikk'-ekkā rayaņāņam rāsī iva te kālāņu asamkha-davvāņi.
All those which in each and every space point of the world space remain one by one (i.e. distinct) like a heap of jewels," (are) atoms of time. They are innumerable substances.
एवं छब्भेयमिदं जीवाजीवप्पभेददो दव्वं। उत्तं कालविजुत्तं णादव्वा पंच अत्थिकाया दु॥२३॥
evam cha-bbheyam idam jīvājīva-ppabhedado davvam uttam kāla-vijuttam ņādavvā panca atthikāyā du.
Thus substance has been described as of six kinds, divided into sentient, non sentient, etc. But existing conglomerates should be recognized as being five, leaving out time.
"Same compound applied to time in Pancāstikāya 24. 14 Like each and every jewel that makes the heap remain distinct from each other and keep their individuality, so are the atoms.
