  1. Samavāyi Kāraṇa(Inherent cause): The material cause (e.g., threads for a cloth).

  2. Asamavāyi Kāraṇa(Non-inherent cause): The connection between material and its form (e.g., the weaving of threads).

  3. Nimitta Kāraṇa(Efficient cause): The primary agent or immediate cause of an effect (e.g., the weaver for the cloth).
