अध्याय-५
4) threshing out black gram, green gram, etc., 5) dividing mica into many layers, and 6) emission of sparks of fire on hammering a red-hot iron-ball. Darkness (andhakāra) is the opposite of light; it obstructs vision. An image/shadow (chāyā) results from obstruction of light by an object. It is of two kinds, images as seen in a mirror and uninverted images like the shadow. In the first of these, the left side becomes right and the right side becomes left. Warm light (ātapa) is heat and light combined, emanating from the sun, etc. Cool light (udyota) is the light issuing from the moon, the firefly (glowworm), jewels, etc. Al these, sound (sabda), etc., are modes (paryāya) of the matter. And those in which these modes (paryāya) are produced are forms of the matter. Other modes (paryāya) of the matter, such as the impulse, the blow, etc., as described in the Scripture, are included by the particle 'ca' in the sūtra.
The divisions of the matter (pudgala) are mentioned next.
अणवः स्कन्धाश्च ॥२५॥
पुद्गल [अणवः स्कन्धाः च ] अणु और स्कन्ध के भेद से दो प्रकार oto
The atoms (aņu) and the molecules (skandha) are the two divisions of the matter (pudgala).
That which occupies one space-point (pradeśa) and possesses the capacity to produce the modes of touch, taste, etc., is called the atom (aņu). Since the atom (aņu) occupies just one space-point (pradeśa), it is the smallest unit of the matter (pudgala); hence the name ‘aņu'.
