Comm. NT: 24. Vitthambhana—“distension”: the word most usually employed to describe the air element. It is often rendered by “supporting,” a word earmarked here for nissaya. The twofold function of the air element is (a) to uphold (sandhārana) by distending (vitthambhana) and preventing collapse (§92), and (b) to move (samudīraṇa), or more strictly, cause the appearance of motion (calana, see n. 37). In XIV.61 it is said to cause thambhana, rendered by “stiffening”; but there is the description of the earth element as thaddha (e.g. §39; pp. of thambhati, from which the noun thambhana comes), rendered by “stiffenedness.” It may also be noted that the word sandhāraṇa (upholding) is used to describe both the earth element (XIV.47) and the air element (XIV.61).
