1) Swā eyayı (simple vibration) 2) eyayr -(complex vibration) 3) Chalayı (motion) 4) Tandan (spandana) 5) Ghattar ( sanghatana) 6) Kouvayı (forceful penetration) and 7) Udırayı (transformation) V) MATTER IS FISSIONABLE AND FUSIONABLE
a) The very name pudgala is derived by the virtue of the matter possessing the qualities of being fusionable and fissionable 13 Pur (puran) means fusion and gal (galana) means fission In other words the processes of fusion and fission are inherent properties of the material universe
The ultimate elementary unit of matter is paramānu' These elementary units unite together to form material composites The union of paramiānus follow certain rules and is subject to certain conditions Aggregates break up into smaller aggregates and/or paramūnus The number of paramāņus participating in a fusion process may vary from two to infinite The unity formed by fusion of multiplicity of paramānus is called skandha le an aggregate or composite body 75
Two or more aggregates may also unite to form one larger body Similarly the fission of an aggregate
