Padarthas (Samskrit : पदार्थाः) or entities (substances) relate to categories of matter, or substance in general. Darshana shastras however, describe that whatever is knowable is denoted by a certain word and whose true knowledge of leads to attainment of the [[Nihshreyasa (निःश्रेयसम्)|Nihshreyasa]]. Nyaya Darshana begins with Gautama's exposition of the nature of an entity or substance which belongs to the one of the sixteen categories. Vaiseshika also propounds the similar concept of Padarthas but vary in the number of categories accepted viz., six.
