Bhagavad-gita As It Is

BG Chapters 1 - 6

BG 2.17, Purport:

"When the upper point of a hair is divided into one hundred parts and again each of such parts is further divided into one hundred parts, each such part is the measurement of the dimension of the spirit soul." Similarly the same version is stated:

keśāgra-śata-bhāgasya
śatāṁśaḥ sādṛśātmakaḥ
jīvaḥ sūkṣma-svarūpo 'yaṁ
saṅkhyātīto hi cit-kaṇaḥ
(CC Madhya 19.140)

"There are innumerable particles of spiritual atoms, which are measured as one ten-thousandth of the upper portion of the hair."
