Satkaryavada

Satkaryavada is a philosophical concept found in Indian philosophy, particularly within the Samkhya and Mimamsa schools. The term can be broken down into two parts: "Sat," meaning "that which is" or "truth," and "Karya," meaning "effect" or "action." Thus, Satkaryavada can be translated as the doctrine of the "effect being pre-existing in the cause.
