c40.s3.32

1. One *earth-atom*, by an original tendency, unites with another, to form a binary molecule. In the same way binary molecules of other *bhutas* 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 homogenous qualities in the binary molecules.
