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. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.2.7) - [Next: 2.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.2.9) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829~en-mt.2.8) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.2.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.2.8) · Pramāṇa
