Definition of
ATOM:
The material manifestation's ultimate particle, which is indivisible and not formed into
a body, is called the atom. It exists always as an invisible identity, even after the
dissolution of
all
forms.
The material body is but a combination of such atoms, but it is misunderstood by the
common man.

DEFINITION OF TIME UNIT
Time and space are two correlative terms. Time is measured in terms of its covering a
certain space of atoms. Standard time is calculated in terms of the movement of the sun.
The time covered by the sun in passing over an atom is calculated as atomic time, as
defined in
next
shalokas .

Two atoms make one double atom, and three double atoms make one hexatom.
The time duration needed for the integration of three hexatoms is called a truti
Hence, truti is
