________________ 324 (ii) A. K. Jain has suggested that the three basic colours refer to the colours of the atoms or sub-atomic particles only and not to their aggregations. Thus, aggregations may have any number of colours, infinite in number. This has been discussed under general properties of matter in an earlier chapter. The above description about the canonical contents of light indicate that there is sufficient observational record about many light associated facts and phenomena. There is some attempt regarding theorisation on many observations. This seems to be highly qualitative and intellectually logical. However, there is no doubt that most of the canonical matter is ahead of contemporary postulates on the subject. The summary of current knowledge in this regard gives us an idea about the advance man has made over the canons. This fact, once again, leads us to study canons with historical rather than absolute perspective. 1. : Scientific Contents in Prākṛta Canons 2. 3. Pujyapada: Sarvärtha-siddhi, p. 137.
