Q. 136. Define cause and causality effect relation. (Nimitta-Naimittika Sambandha).
When "Upadan" itself functions into some kind of deed (modification), at that moment which suitable "Nimitta karan" either its presence or its absence' has relationship or involvement with that deed, to show this fact, that deed is called as Naimittika. Thus, the independant relationship between different substances is called "Nimitta-Naimittika Sambandha".
1.
This cause and causality (Effect) relationship is not the indication of dependence but it makes one a ware of the Nimitta' that is found with "Naimittika". The deed which is called "Naimittika" (from Nimitta side) is also termed as "Upadeya" from Upadan side.
Examples of Nimitta-Namittika Sambandha :--
Omniscience is "Naimittika" and the whole cosmos ie, universe and nonuniverse as all knowables are Nimitta, (Pravachansar Gatha 26, Commentary).
