This page relates 鈥楺ualities (8): Samyoga (Conjunction)鈥� of the study on the Nyaya-Vaisheshika categories with special reference to the Tarkasangraha by Annambhatta. Both Nyaya and Vaisesika are schools of ancient Indian Philosophy, and accepted in their system various padarthas or objects of valid knowledge. This study investigates how the Tarkasamgraha reflects these categories in the combined Nyayavaisesika school.

Qualities (8): Sa峁儁oga (Conjunction)
The 狈测腻测补-痴补颈艣别峁办补蝉 accept 蝉补峁儁辞驳补 (conjunction) as the general quality, which exists in all dravyas.
According to Pra艣astap膩da the cause of the notion of being conjoined is called 蝉补峁儁辞驳补鈥�
He also gives another definition of 蝉补峁儁辞驳补 thus:
So conjunction is the contact of two things which were first separate. 痴颈艣惫补苍腻迟丑补 also gives similar definition of 蝉补峁儁辞驳补.[3] 础苍苍补峁僢丑补峁弓补 defines 蝉补峁儁辞驳补 as the special cause of the usage that two things are conjoined.[4] In the 顿墨辫颈办腻, we find that the word 鈥榮pecial cause鈥� is used in this definition of 蝉补峁儁辞驳补 (conjunction) to remove the defect of 补迟颈惫测腻辫迟颈 in case of space, time number etc.[5] A detailed discussion of 蝉补峁儁辞驳补 will be given in a separate chapter where different types of relation will be discussed. Here only an idea of 蝉补峁儁辞驳补 as a quality is given.
