________________ Pancastikaya-samgraha शब्द पुद्गल-स्कन्ध पर्याय है - Sound (sabda) is the mode (paryaya) of the molecular-matter (skandha) - सद्दो खंधप्पभवो खंधो परमाणुसंगसंघादो / पुढेसु तेसु जायदि सद्दो उप्पादिगो णियदो // 79 // शब्दः स्कंधप्रभवः स्कंधः परमाणुसंगसङ्घातः / स्पृष्टेषु तेषु जायते शब्द उत्पादिको नियतः // 79 // अन्वयार्थ - [शब्दः स्कंधप्रभवः ] शब्द स्कन्धजन्य है। [ स्कंधः परमाणुसंगसङ्घातः ] स्कन्ध परमाणु का सङ्घात है, [ तेषु स्पृष्टेषु ] और वे स्कन्ध स्पर्शित होने से - टकराने से [शब्दः जायते] शब्द उत्पन्न होता है, [नियतः उत्पादिकः ] इस प्रकार वह (शब्द) नियतरूप से उत्पाद्य है। The sound (sabda) is originated by the molecular-matter (skandha). The molecular-matter (skandha) is produced by the union (samghata) of groups of atoms. On touching (striking) with each other, these, the molecular-matter (skandha), produce sound (sabda). Certainly, the molecular-matter (skandha) that is fit to turn into the sound - bhasa-vargana - produces the sound (sabda). EXPLANATORY NOTE In this world, the sense-organ (dravyendriya) of hearing (srotra) receives the sound that comes in contact with it. The psychic-sense (bhavendriya) apprehends it. The sound, truly, is the mode (paryaya) of the molecular-matter (skandha) that consists of infinite number of atoms (paramanu). The molecular-matter (skandha) should be understood as of two kinds. One, the molecular-matter (skandha) that is fit to turn into the sound - bhasa-vargana - which is the internal (basic) cause of the 156
