(18) From the points of view of the modes of existeuce of one place unit of non-existence of numerous place units and of existence and non-existence of one place units a molecule of five space points is ātman, is not (numerous) ātmans and is indescribable.
(19) From the points of view of the modes of existence of one place unit, of non-existence of two place units of existence and nonexistence of two place units a molecule of five space points is ātman, is not (two) ātman and is (two) inexpressible.
(20) From the points of view of the modes of existence of numerous place units, of non-existence of one place unit and of existence and non-existence of one place unit, a molecule of five space points is ātman is not (two) ātman and is (two) inexpressible.
(21) Prom the points of view of the modes of existence of two place units of non-existence of one place unit and from the point of view of the modes of existence and non-existence of two place units, a moleule of five space points is (two) ātmans, is not ātman and is (two) inexpressible.
(22) From the points of view of the mode of existence of two place units and of non-existence of two place units and of the modes of existence and non-existence of one place unit, a molecule of five space points is two ātmans, is not (two) ātmans and is avaktavya (inexpressible).
In this way, various combinations and permutations of the propositional forms regarding the molecule of six place points has been presented. There are twenty three propositional forms. Twenty-two predicational forms are the same as described above and the twentythird is as follows:
From the points of view of modes of existence of two place points of existence of two place units and of the modes of existence and non-existence of two place units, a molecule of six space points is (two) ātmans, is not (two) ātn ans and is (two) inexpressible. 1
From the discussions given above, it is clear that the seven-fold
