(Aph.) (Only those atoms which are) possessed of more units of viscidity (snigdha) or dryness (rūkşa) than the minimum (can combine. • into aggregates) because of their viscidity and/or dryness. (XX)
(Gloss) Atoms 'possessed of more units than the minimum', that is, atoms possessed of the two or more units of viscidity and/or dryness can combine or conglomerate with the atoms possessed of the same number or different number of units of viscidity and/or dryness on account of their viscidity and dryness; but atoms of minimum (i.e. single unit of) intensity can never combine with any other atom irrespective of the fact whether the latter are of minimum or more than minimum intensity. This rule applies to the combination of dissimilar atoms (that is, combination of viscous and dry atoms).
(Note) Only such atoms which possess more units of viscidity or dryness than the minimum, i.e., such atoms whose viscidity or dryness is greater than one unit can unite and combine (to form aggregates), while those with one unit of viscidity or dryness can never do so.
This aphorism as well as the next one specify the conditions which prevent the union of atoms into aggregates. First, this aphorism lays down that the union will never take place, if the participating atoms are possessed of a single unit of viscidity or dryness. This is universal condition of non-union irrespective of the fact whether the participating atoms are of dissimilar quality (i.e., dry with viscid) or of the same kind. Then, the next aphorism lays down an additional condition concerning the union of atoms of the same kind (dry with dry, viscid with viscid). २१. द्वयधिकादिगुणत्वे सदृशानाम् ।

The unit (jaghanya guna) of any quality such as viscidity or dryness is the measure of its intensity which is further indivisible,
