________________ Verse 77 परमाणु की व्याख्या - The description of the atom (paramanu) - सव्वेसिं खंधाणं जो अंतो तं वियाण परमाणू / सो सस्सदो असद्दो एक्को अविभागी मुत्तिभवो // 77 // सर्वेषां स्कंधानां योऽन्त्यस्तं विजानीहि परमाणुम् / स शाश्वतोऽशब्दः एकोऽविभागी मूर्तिभवः // 77 // अन्वयार्थ - [सर्वेषां स्कंधानां] सर्व स्कन्धों का [यः अन्त्यः ] जो अंतिम भाग [ तं] उसे [ परमाणुम् विजानीहि ] परमाणु जानो। [सः] वह [अविभागी] अविभागी [ एकः] एक (एक प्रदेशी), [शाश्वतः ] शाश्वत, [ मूर्तिभवः] मूर्तिप्रभव (मूर्तरूप से उत्पन्न होने वाला) और [ अशब्दः] अशब्द है। The last limit of all molecular-matter (skandha) is to be known as the atom (paramanu). The atom (paramanu) is one [(eka - having one space-point (pradesa)], eternal (sasvata), corporeal (murtiprabhava), and without-sound (asabda). EXPLANATORY NOTE The last, smallest part of the aforesaid six modes (paryaya) of the molecular-matter (skandha) is the atom paramanu. There is nothing smaller than the indivisible atom (paramanu). There are no spacepoints (pradesa) for atom (paramanu), as it is of the extent of one space-point. One space-point of space is considered without spacepoints as its splitting or division is not possible. The atom (paramanu) is one since there can be no division of its space-point. Since, as a substance (dravya), it is ever-existent in own-nature, it is eternal. It is 151
