________________ 32 DISCUSSION T. G. Kalghatgi : Is Dr. Sikdar talking about Skandhas in Buddhistic or in nonBuddhistic sense? Secondly, Democritian atoms having merely quantitative distinctions are closer to jaina atoms as against Vaiseṣika atoms. Thirdly, he argues that integration and disintegration of Pudgala is due to its own nature. Does this contention involve a reference to the jaina concept of Dharma or is it merely an attempt to clarify a term? Lastly, it would be helpful if Dr. Sikdar explains the distinction between Dravya and Astikāya, for although Astitva is common to both, time has no Kayatva even if space has. This is what is brought out in modern termonology saying that while space is multidimensional time is monodimensional. T. G. Kalghatgi : S. S. Barlingay: Has space Kayatva or is it on account of space that there is Kayatva? For jainas space is real. STUDIES IN JAINISM S. S. Barlingay: True, but has space Kayatva or does anything else have Kayatva due to space. S. S. Barlingay : T. G. Kalghatgi : Space has characteristics of Kayatva while time has none. Does space then have Kaya? T. G. Kalghatgi : Although space is not Kaya, it has characteristics of Kayatva, but time does not. S. M. Shah : Time is a process. If it is a substance too then it also occupies Pradeśa. But can we talk of a Pradeśa of a time? For if time has Pradeśa it ceases to be monodimensional.
