Sandhana means bringing together. Similar to the alingan karma of kapha, (For example, laying bricks one after another) but vayu performs it differently through carrying the useful ingredients for building the structure of the body. Moving the particles closer or farther is the function of vata.

vata is the impeller of the speech. Speech has been considered as the distinctive feature of akasha mahabhuta but is included under the next mahabhuta of vayu ( Cha. Su. 1/28) and hence speech has also been considered due to vata dosha.

Presence of vayu is essential for the production of sound. Sound waves result from the alternate compression and decompression of air molecules. They originate from a vibrating object, much the same way as water waves travel over the surface of water.

9.  Prakriti shabda sparshayoh-shrotra sparshanyormulam:
+
 
vata being seated at  twak (skin), originates & possesses  all the senses simultaneously, specifically through touch and hearing (which can be attributed to akasha and vayu). Similarly vata has been held especially responsible for the formation of the structure of the ears, and hence vata has been held responsible as the root cause of auditory faculty. This could be so because sound always needs a medium to be conducted. The sound produced in our surroundings takes the help of air present in the atmosphere to get conducted.
