Concept of Time in Post-Vedic Sanskrit Literature 63 29. Mah膩bh膩峁a on P膩峁噄ni II. 2.5. Bharthari too accepts this view
vide his K膩rik膩s:

30. It is interesting to observe here that N膩ge艣abha峁弓a, the
grammarian-philosopher does not accept this view of Bh膩峁ak膩ra.
To him time is neither one, nor eternal and all pervading. If time
is one, argues he, it would not be possible to account for the
diversity of effects produced; hence time must be held to be a
stream of moments. Nor can time be maintained to be eternal,
all pervasive etc., for time is said to be the cause of various
actions in so far as it forms their substratum, but unless it is
qualified, it cannot be the substratum of such notion as 'now there
is jar' and if a qualification of it is to be assumed, then we shall
have to assume another determination for that qualification and
still another for the second; and so on ad infinitum.
