Abstract: | This is the second paper of a trilogy dealing with the role of triple encounters with low initial velocities and equal masses
in the evolution of stellar systems in three dimensional space. It shows how a condition of complete collapse may be perturbed
to obtain well-established families of asymmetric triple close approaches with systematic regularity of escape with the formation
of a binary. The main result is that when perturbation is introduced two close approaches called the first close approach
and the second close approach occur in the same plane but the binary formed and the escaper are not in that plane. Further
it is observed that the conjecture of Szebehely (1977) viz. `The measure of escaping orbits is significantly higher than the
measure of stable orbits' is likely to be true. The third and last paper offers applications in stellar systems.
