v1.c8.21

Samavāya is defined in verse 50 as the relation of inseparable inherence (apṛthagbhāva), as in the case of earth and other substances and their qualities; this relation is said to be eternal (nitya). Cakra describes it, in agreement with Praśastapāda’s commentary on the Vaiśeṣikasūtras, as the invariable co-existence (ayutasiddhi) of substrate (ādhāra) and that which exists in it (ādhārya). 45
