【剎那】《楞伽》云：「剎那時不住，名為剎那。」《俱舍》云：「壯士一彈指頃，六十五剎那。」《仁王》云：「一念中，有九十剎那。一剎那，經九百生滅。」《毘曇》翻為一念。《日藏》云：「我今復說剎那之數，一千六百剎那，名一迦羅。六十迦羅，名模呼律多。三十模呼律多，為一日夜。」《俱舍》云：「時之極少，名剎那；時之極長，名為劫。」通明極少，凡有三種。俱舍頌曰：「極微字剎那，色、名、時極少。」釋曰：「分析諸色，至一極微，為色極少。分析諸名及時，至一字一剎那，為名極少、時極少。」

[Kṣaṇa] The Laṅkāvatāra says: "A time of non-abiding is called a kṣaṇa." The Abhidharmakośa says: "In the snap of a strong man's fingers, there are sixty-five kṣaṇas." The Benevolent King Sutra says: "Within one thought-moment, there are ninety kṣaṇas. In one kṣaṇa, nine hundred arisings and ceasings are experienced." The Abhidharma translates it as 'one thought-moment' (yinian). The Riguang [Sutra] says: "I now also state the reckoning of kṣaṇas: one thousand six hundred kṣaṇas make one kalā; sixty kalās make one muhūrta; thirty muhūrtas make one day and night." The Abhidharmakośa says: "The minimum of time is called a kṣaṇa; the maximum of time is called a kalpa." Broadly speaking, there are three minimum units in total. A verse of the Abhidharmakośa says: / "The paramāṇu, the syllable, and the kṣaṇa / Are the minima of form, name, and time." / The commentary explains: "Analyzing forms down to a single paramāṇu is the minimum of form. Analyzing names and time down to a single syllable and a single kṣaṇa is the minimum of name and the minimum of time."
