In Hinduism

Ayurveda (science of life)

Source: INSA Digital Repository: Caraka’s Approach to Knowledge

Inherence (Sanskrit: samavāya) refers to one of the various Padarthas (categories of all that exists) which were adapted by Caraka in his Charakasamhita.—Vaisheshika was an ancient system dating back to the time of the Buddha and drew within its fold ‘physics, metaphysics, and logical discussions skillfully dovetailed’ (Cf. Charaka Samhita verse 11.44-56).—[...] The primary classification of Padarthas into substance, quality, activity, generality, particularity and inherence (samavāya) was adopted by Charaka without changes. But other adoptions from Vaisheshika were qualified.
