In Hinduism
Kavyashastra (science of poetry)
Source: DASH: The Theology of Literary Emotions in Medieval KashmirSatkāryavādin (सत्कार्यवादिन्) refers to “one who propounds the Satkāryavāda theory”.—Dhvani was so important to Ānandavardhana that his text, Dhvanyāloka, is named after it.—The idea that curds are a manifestation of a potential latent in milk is a typical example used by proponents of a theory called satkāryavāda, which holds that effects always pre-exist in their causes. [...] So although Ānandavardhana was not a satkāryavādin, the ideas he uses in his text are very closely related to satkāryavāda, and practically require the question to be addressed if a commentator is to engage seriously with the work and try to expand on it.
Kavyashastra (काव्यशास्त्र, kāvyaśāstra) refers to the ancient Indian tradition of poetry (kavya). Canonical literature (shastra) of the includes encyclopedic manuals dealing with prosody, rhetoric and various other guidelines serving to teach the poet how to compose literature.
Nyaya (school of philosophy)
Source: Shodhganga: Comparative study of spiritual practices in Jainism and Patanjala yoga (Nyaya)Satkāryavādin (सत्कार्यवादिन्) refers to a “follower of the Satkāryavāda doctrine”.—In Indian Philosophy, theory of causation has great significance. Satkāryavāda and asatkāryavāda are two prime doctrines. Satkāryavādins believe that effect is already present in the material cause prior to its origination and so not basically new and different from material cause, e.g. as milk is not any other material than milk, it gives rise to curd. Curd is already there in it in unmanifested form and takes the manifested form only when it changes its form different from milk. Asatkāryavāda on the other hand, maintains that effect, prior to its origination, is not there in material cause. Curd is not milk and as it is different, and it is not there prior to its production. Purpose of curd is not served by milk.
This cause and effect relationship is very well explained in details here in Nyāya darśana as compared to similar theories of Jainism, Buddhism and Mimamsa. The prominent defect of Nyāya darśana is that it believes consciousness as accidental character of ātman, as free soul is unconsciousness. Many have criticized their theory of mokṣa, as “mokṣa of Nyāya is a word without any meaning”.
Nyaya (न्याय, nyaya) refers to a school of Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. The Nyaya philosophy is known for its theories on logic, methodology and epistemology, however, it is closely related with Vaisheshika in terms of metaphysics.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
