atom - the tri-Tanmatric Tejas-atom, the light-and-heat corpuscle,
which by aggregation enveloped the gaseous world in huge flames. In the
next stage we have the fourth class of Tanmatras, new and complex infraatomic
systems of the radiant impinging vibratory particles, which
evolved the energy of viscous attraction, as well as the potential energy
concerned in the taste-stimulus. These Tanmatras, combining with the
three previous ones, gave rise to another class of atoms, the tetra-
Tanmatric Ap-atom, and the flaming gases were thus precipitated into
cosmic masses of viscous fluid matters (Ap). Finally appeared the fifth
class of Tanmatras, infra-atomic systems of the viscous radiant impinging
vibratory particles which developed new forms of Energy - the energy of
cohesive attraction, as well as the potential energy concerned in the
stimulus of smell. These Tanmatras, uniting with the four other kinds of
infra-atomic subtile particles, formed another class of atoms, the penta-
Tanmatric Earth-atom. Thus the viscous fluid matters were condensed
and transformed into the Earth-Bhuta, comprising the majority of the socalled
elements of chemistry. 22
