Verse 5

¹The last of the distinct things that are, many, and never joined to anything: that is to be known as the atom, from which men come by their delusion that things are one. ²The aloneness of an existing thing standing in its own form is the supreme great, in which there are no distinctions and no gaps. ³In the same way, best of the good, time too is inferred in the fine and in the coarse, by the way it eats up the arrangements of things. The Bhagavan is unshown, the eater of what is shown, and he pervades all. ⁴That time is the atom which eats up the atomhood of things; but that which eats up the whole of what is, undistinguished, is the supreme great time.

⁵A speck is two atoms; three specks are called a mote, the one caught in a sunbeam through a lattice as it drifts and rises through the air.
