ing to the Jaina Theory of Bonding indicating that aphorismic meaning of bonding due to 'snigdha and ruksa' should mean three types of bondings — (i) Snigdha - Snigdha, (ii) Ruksa -- Ruksa and (iii) Snigdha - Rukșa. This does not seem to be right as there is only singular number in the aphorism. This will also have repercussions on the following aphorisms in this regard. Secondly, one is also not right to say that bondings specified in literature refer only to electrovalent linkage.
