GOMMATASARA.
Commentary.
An atom as long as it has got only one degree of smoothness or roughness will neither unite with another atom with one degree nor with other atoms of more degrees. But when degrees of smoothness or roughness are increased in that very atom owing to internal capacity of change and auxiliary cause of other substances, it becomes fit for bondage with other atoms possessing 2 degrees in
excess.
रिद्धिदरगुणा अहिया होणं परिणामयंति बंधम्मि । संखेजा संखेज्जारंगत पदेसाण खंधाणं ॥ ६१६ ॥ स्निग्वेतरगुणा अधिका हीनं परिणामयन्ति बन्धे । संख्येयासंख्येयानन्तप्रदेशानां स्कन्धानाम् ॥ ६१६ ॥
619. In molecules of numerable, innumerable, and in - finite atoms, (the atoms) with greater degrees of smoothness or other (i. e. roughness) when uniting, alter (atoms of) lesser (degree) to their own kind).
Commentary.
This gatha shows that there is the same rule for the union of molecules also. A molecule of 500 degrees will unite with another of 502 only, neither more nor less. Any atom or molecule uniting with another of less degrees than two will transform it into its own kind. When a rough atom with 25 degrees unites with a smooth atom of 23 degrees, the united molecule will be a rough molecule.

काले पदेसपचयो जम्हा स्थित्ति सिद्दिहं ॥ ६२० ॥ द्रव्यं षट्कमकालं पञ्चास्तिकायसंज्ञितं भवति । काले प्रदेशमचयो यस्मान्नास्तीति निर्दिष्टम् || ६२० ॥

रणव य पदत्था जीवाजीवा ताणं च पुण्यपावदुगं । आसव संवर णिज्जरबंधा मोक्खो य होंतित्ति ॥ ६२१॥ नव च पदार्था जीवा अजीवास्तेषां च पुण्यपापद्वयम् । श्रास्रवसंवरनिर्जराबन्धा मोक्षश्च भवन्तीति ॥ ६२१ ॥
