*Vyāpti* (invariable concomitance) is the rule of unfailing relationship between the cause and its effect. A statement specifying the invariable relation between the proban and the probandum is also called *vyāpti*. Wherever there is smoke, fire is there — this is *vyāpti*. There are two *vyāptis* — *anvaya* and *vyatireka*, the positive concomitance and the negative concomitance.
