==== Asatkaryavadins or Theory of Origination : ====
Asatkaryavadins or Arambhavadins believe that the effect is a new creation, a real beginning. The effect (karya) does not pre-exist (asat) in its material cause. It is said to be a plurality of ultimate reals which are supposed to be simple and atomic as traced to Nyaya-Vaisheshika.
