the production of big and long from the short and the atom, are untenable.
The word Asamanjasa (untenable) is brought here from the previous Sutra. The word, Vaa (i.e. or) is used in the sense of Ca (i.e. and). Completely unintelligible are the views of that school, which hold the doctrine that the Tryanuka which is big and long is formed from the D'vyanukas (shorts) and Paramaanus (atoms)*****." As a rule the parts, that possess six sides, begin the formation of a bigger object in combination. The atoms have no parts. Hence, they cannot have sides. Things such as atoms, that are brought together without any regard to their sides cannot produce a big object.

On both assumptions, motion does not originate in the atoms and thence there is no origination of the world.

***** According to the Vaisesika system of the philosophy, two paramaanus(atoms alias parimandalas) form a dvyanukaa (dyad) which is Hrasva or short in size. Three DvayaNukaas (dyads) form a Tryanuka (ternary) which is Maha ( big) and Dirgha (long).
