नित्यमेव च भावात्

nityameva ca bhāvāt

Sūtra translation

Besides, (the cause) being permanently present, (the production of the effect also would have to be admitted) as perpetual.

The material cause, viz., the atoms, as well as Sama- vaya (the relation of inherence) being granted to be eter- nally present and it being admitted that the existence of things consequent upon that relation of inherence is their origin, all effect should- be admitted to be eternal. Or the causes advocated in the Vaisesbika sys- tem should never be producing any effect.
