Avyatireka (अव्यतिरेक) refers to “(that which is) not distinct (from each other)”, according to the Viṃśikāvṛtti 7.—Accordingly, “If, on the other hand, the place of one atom is also that of the six [atoms supposedly surrounding it], then since they all have the same place, [they] must all [constitute] a lump [of matter] that has the size of a [single] atom, since they are not distinct from each other (paraspara-avyatireka)”.
