Now a little about the classification of Poggala. In Thā. Sū.82,2- it is stated that Poggala is of two kinds - Parmāņupoggala and No-paramānu-poggala (i.e. the khandhā or molecular aggregate) while a four-fold classification is also met with in the Višeșa-pada of Pannavaņā (ekt. 5) thus : (1) Khandhā, (2) Khandhadesā, (3) Khandapaesā, (4) Paramāņu poggala -- i.e. (1) molecular aggregate, (2) a part of a molecular aggregate, (3) The smallest part of a molecular aggregate and (4) an atom. Then in the Bh. Sū.8.1.309, we find a three-fold classification of Poggala based on two kinds of change or transformation - one, natural change (वीससा) and the other involving conscious effort (पओग)25.
The terms 'Tatar' and 'THAT' are not explained but subdivisions of each are given in detail in subsequent passages.
These two kinds of change, as we shall have occasion to see, are elaborately treated in later works.
It should be noted that the number of Poggala and atoms is infinite (ananta) but they occupy only the innumerable (asamkhyāta) space-points of Logāgāsa. This is possible because of the peculiar power of penetration or occupation possessed by an atom as well as a molecular aggregate. Thus one space-point can be occupied
