Kāryakāraṇabhāva (कार्यकारणभाव) refers to the “relation of cause and effect”, according to Utpaladeva’s Vivṛti on Īśvarapratyabhijñākārikā 1.5.6.—Accordingly, “[...] Only [the following] could [still] be objected: if these [objects] did not exist after as well as before [their] being manifest, [then] the very fact that they are manifest would be causeless, and [under such conditions,] the relation of cause and effect (kāryakāraṇabhāva) and the relation between the knowing subject and the object of knowledge would not be possible”.
