Conglomeration (between atoms) of the same kind is possible only if the difference in their intensities is two or more units. (XXI) (Gloss) (This aphorism deals exclusively with the union of atoms of the same kind and specifies an additional condition of their union). Atoms of the same kind possessed of more units (of viscidity or dryness) than the minimum can unite together to form aggregates provided the difference between the intensities (dryness or viscidity) of participating atoms is two or more than two units. In other words, if there are atoms whose intensity is two units (of dryness or viscidity) on one side and those with four (or more) on the other side, the union may take place, but if the atoms on both the sides have the same intensity or the difference is only one unit, then the union is not possible. It has been said "A viscid atom can conglomerate with another viscid atom, if they differ in intensity by (at least) two units (of viscidity). (Similarly) a dry atom can conglomerate with another dry atom, if they differ in intensity by (at least two units (of dryness). There can however be no integration, both in the case of atoms of the same kind or of the opposing kind, if the participating atoms are possessed of the minimum unit of intensity."- Pannavanā, XIII. i The following chart makes clear the union or non-union of atoms : Units of intensity Same kind Opposing kind 1. 1+1 2. 1+2 No 3. 1 +3 No No 4.. 1+n No 5. 2+2 Yes Yes 7. 2+4 Yes Yes 8. 2+m Yes Yes Notation : n>3, m>4 No No No No No . 6, 2+3 No Jain Education International For Personal & Private Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
