In Jainism
Jain philosophy
Source: archive.org: Anekanta Jaya Pataka of Haribhadra SuriUpādānakāraṇa (उपादानकारण) refers to a “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).
