The falling of waters, in the absence of conjunction, is due to gravity.
Flowing (results) from fludity.
The sun’s rays (cause) the ascent (of water), through conjunction with air.
(Particles of water fly upwards), by means of concussion with impulse, and of conjunction with the conjunct.
The circulation (of water) in trees is caused by adṛṣṭa.

The pealing of thunder is the mark of that.
(There is) Vedic (proof) also.

Attributes are, however, non-combinative causes.
Space is explained by Attributes.
By way of (efficient) causality, (the reference of action to Time as its seats, being explained), Time (is explained to be inactive, so far as combinative causality is concerned).
