Effect: anger (mental happening).
That is to say, when the like causes the like, it is upädāna-upādeya, when the unlike causes the unlike, it is nimitta-naimittika.

The pravṛtti (activity) of the worldly soul is called bhavakarma ; the four internal transformations of the soul, viz. anger, pride, deceitfulness and greed are called bhāvakarma on the internal transformations of it, viz. attachment, aversion and delusion are bhāvakarma. The worldly soul is constantly associated with the body, so its activity is not possible without the support (base) of mind, speech and body. The emergence of the internal transformations like the four passions, or attachment, aversion and delusion of the soul takes place by the activities of mind, speech and body. In other words, it can be said that the mental, vocal and bodily activities of the worldly soul which are also called yoga (activity) are tinged with the colour of attachment, aversion and delusion or four passions (kasayas). In fact, pravṛtti (activity) is one, but just as a piece of cloth and its colour are called different, just so there are also two names of this pravṛtti (activity) of soul, viz. yoga (activity) and kasaya (passion). Just as a new piece of cloth devoid of colour is of one colour, just so the pravṛtti (activity) of mind, speech and body free from the colour of passion is of one colour. Just as the colour of a piece of cloth is sometimes light and sometimes deep, so this bhavakarma is sometimes intense and sometimes mild in the presence of the colour of passion with the operation of activity (yogavyāpāra); just as a piece of cloth devoid of colour can be small or large, so the activity free from passion can also become more of less. But there becomes the absence of intensity or mildness (mandata) of luminosity, being the cause of colour. For this reason, the importance of colour-communicating passion is more with regard to activity. Therefore, only passion is called bhāvakarma. In the binding of dravyakarma both activity and passions have usually been accepted as the efficient cause, still this is the reason of accepting only passion as bhavakarma. In a nutshell, the four passions (kasāyas)— anger, pride, deceitfulness and greed or the faults-attachment, aversion and delusion are bhāvakarma. Soul becomes bound by receiving dravyakarma from them.
