________________ Verse 101 (nitya). That which originates and gets destroyed immediately thereafter is, in fact, the mode (paryaya) of the same time' (kala). Itself transient, it continues in form of a series; therefore, 'time' (kala) is also enduring. Thus, the empirical-time (vyavahara kala), with 'samaya' as its basic unit, is also known by avali, palyopama, sagaropama, etc., which indicate different durations of time. The difference between the substance-of-time (dravya kala, niscaya kala) and the empirical-time (vyavahara kala) is expressed in another way. The substance-of-time (dravya kala, niscaya kala) is withoutbeginning and without-end - anadi-ananta - and is not expressed by intervals of conventional time, like 'samaya'. Not being a subject of the senses (indriya), it is incorporeal (amurta). It comprises innumerable (asamkhyata) time-atoms (kalanu) inhabiting the entire universe-space (lokakasa). Each time-atom (kalanu) has single spacepoint (pradesa); it is thus without space-points - apradesi. The timeatom (kalanu) transforms into the mode (paryaya) that is the empirical-time (vyavahara kala) manifested in form of duration or 'samaya'. . . . . . . . . . . 195
