Source: archive.org: Anekanta Jaya Pataka of Haribhadra SuriUpādānahetu (उपादानहेतु) is the same as Upādānakāraṇa (“material cause”), as used in the Anekāntajayapatākā-prakaraṇa, a Śvetāmbara Jain philosophical work written by Haribhadra Sūri.—[Cf. Vol. I, P. 5, l. 17]—Upādānakāraṇa means a material cause. It is also called ‘samavāyikāraṇa’ i.e. an intimate or constituent cause, and it represents the material of which an effect is made. Thus clay is the samavāyi-kāraṇa of a jar, and so is yarn m the case of a piece of cloth. A samavāyi-kāraṇa is always a dravya (substance). [...] On p. 81, L 14 we come across the phrase ‘upādānahetu’ which is same as ‘upādānakāraṇa’. There we have a two-fold division of causes (a) extraordinary and (b) ordinary. The upādānakāraṇa is extraordinary while the other (nimittakāraṇa) is ordinary.
