Text 1

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.

One can estimate time by measuring the movement of the atomic combination of

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 .

Text 5

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

the

unit

of

time

according

to

Srimad Bhagwatam.
