2.8

「極微亦有方分」者,方謂諸方,分謂細分,雖有諸方,而無細分。極微乃是麁色所有,自更無他。《唯識》第一云:極微無方分,方即是分,非諸方義。二文雖別,亦不相違。

"An atom also has spatial direction-parts": "direction" refers to the various cardinal directions; "part" refers to subtle parts; although it has directions, it lacks subtle parts. An atom belongs only to gross matter, having nothing else of its own. Fascicle 1 of the *Vijñaptimātratāsiddhi* says: "Atoms have no spatial parts (digbhāga)"—here "direction" is itself the "part", not the meaning of the various directions. Although the two texts differ, they are not contradictory.
