If, when the sun illuminates a pillar, the atoms in it lacked spatial parts, then when the sun illuminated the eastern side, the western side would also have light; because lacking spatial parts, there should be no obstruction. 'Your atoms should have spatial parts; because they are composite matter; like composite matter.' The eastern side is not the west, clearly proving they have spatial parts. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.2.24) - [Next: 2.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.2.26) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830~en-mt.2.25) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.2.25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.2.25) · Pramāṇa
