46. After one has fully investigated through deep meditation (dhyāna) that subtle manifestation (kalanā) of time (kāla) – which is perpetually flowing, brings about all transformations, has components as minute as a hundredth part of a wink (nimeṣa), whose initial sprout is difficult to achieve from non-existence (asat), and which causes its own emergence – these species of immovables (sthāvara) are then understood to be established.
