Source: Shodhganga: A study of Nyāya-vaiśeṣika categories (vaisesika)Samavāyikāraṇatva (समवायिकारणत्व) refers to one of Kaṇāda’s definitions of Dravya (substance) in his Vaiśeṣikasūtra, 1.1.15.—The third definition, Samavāyikāraṇatva (i.e. samavāyikāraṇatvaṃ dravyatvaṃ), is accepted by all. It is found in Muktāvaī, Tarkabhāṣā, etc. Praśastapāda also agrees to it. In the Tarkabhāṣā, the substance is defined as that which is a samavāyikāraṇa (inherent cause) or in which qualities subsist. Śivāditya states about dravya in his Saptapadārthī that a substance is that in which has the generality of substanceness, qualities in inherent relation and what is itself an intimate or inherent cause.
