If they lack the juxtaposed directions of east, west, and so forth, all atoms should interpenetrate and coalesce into a single substance, and thus coarse \[matter\] would not be formed. The Viṃśatikā says: 'When an atom joins with six, one must have six parts; if it is in the same place as the six, the aggregate must be like an atom.' The first half refers to the preceding \[argument\], and the second half refers to this one. Because of this, atoms definitely have spatial parts; hence the Abhidharmakośa says: 'Whether touching or not touching, all must have parts.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.2.30) - [Next: 2.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.2.32) - [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.2.31) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.2.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.2.31) · Pramāṇa
