आगमे विश्वासटिप्पन्यः

An atomistic early Indian philosopher
whose views are mentioned in the
Buddhist scriptures. As these scriptures
portray him, Pakudha believed that
seven things were eternal, unmoving,
and unchanging—the four elements,
ease, pain, and the soul. According to
Pakudha, when a sword cuts a person’s
head in two, no one is deprived of life,
rather the sword merely penetrates the
interval between two elementary substances (presumably the soul and the
material part of the person’s body). This
example seems to suggest an antisocial
ethos, but beyond this, very little is
known about him.
