2- THE NON-SOUL
atoms with difference of one degree of greasiness and roughness.1 The atoms which are suitable for combination with other atoms are called the utmost-atoms (utkrsta-paramāņu). The indivisible unit of matter that is of the extent one space-point (pradeśa) is called the atom (paramāņu). One space-point indicates that no further splitting or division of the atom is possible. There is nothing smaller than the indivisible atom. The atom (paramāņu) is, therefore, termed as without space-points (Tattvārthasūtra, 5-11). Such atoms are called the effect-atoms (kārya-paramānu).
