Fiom the above it is clcar that in some respccts krips and gari of parammu follow definite rules while in aher respect they follow the principle of uncertainly In We can summarise the definite rules as under I Unless acied upon by external forces paranian
moves in a straight line (anusrenigau). 2 When acied upon by citernal forces paramānu may change direction and speed Jccia has no direct influence on the motion of
paramánu 4 Minimum and maximum distances travelled by
pai amănu in one samaja are, space between two adjacent points and the entire length of the loka
respectively 5 Maximum period of inactivity (rest) is asanıkhyara
samaia Maxinium period of activity is asanıklıy. araih portion of an analika On the other hand the principle of uncertainty
governs the following | It is uncertain, after what interval of time will a
paraniāņu at rest will become dynamic (release energy) This time-interval may be from one samaya upto innumerable samayas However, after an interval of innumerable samayas it will
become active for sure 2 Similarly it is uncertain, upto what duration of
time will a dynamic paramānu continue to be active It (the duration) could be from one samaya to an asanihlyätarh portion of an āyalıkā But it will surely cease to be active after this maximum
interval 3 It is uncertain which direction will a paramānu
take at the commencement of motion It can move 104 Paramāṇorgari anivasa-Taltvariha Rājvārtikam.
