Atomic theory; Democritus (who died in 370 B. C. in Greece) started it, 1486, in Kaṇāda, who does not expressly say anything about who started it, 1486; later Nyāya-vaiśeṣika writers combined two theories by saying that, when God desires to create, activity is produced in the atoms and creation starts, as stated in Tarkadīpikā, 1486.
