स्वशब्दोन्मानाभ्यां च ॥ २२ ॥

svaśabda-unmānābhyām—From direct statements (of the Sruti texts) and infinitesimal measure; ca—and.
22. And on account of direct statements (of the Sruti texts as to the atomic size) and infinitesimal measure (the soul is atomic).
“This Atman is atomic” (Mu. 3. 1. 9). Again we have, “That individual soul is to be known as part of the hundredth part of the tip of a hair divided a hundred times” (Svet. 5. 9), which shows that the soul is smaller than even the smallest. Hence the soul is atomic in size.
