v2.c34.315

I. One Earth-atom, by an original tendency, unites with another, to form a binary molecule (द्व्यणुक). In the same way, binary molecules of the other Bhútas are formed. The atoms are possessed of an inherent Parispanda (rotary or vibratory motion), and when they unite in pairs, so long as there is no chemical operation under the action of heat corpuscles, the original qualities of the atoms produce homogeneous qualities in the binary molecules.
