Բⲹٳ (अन्यथासिद्�, “superfluity�) refers to “invariable antecedents of effects�.—The discussion of the Nyāya-Vaiśeṣika theory of creation will remain incomplete if a few lines are not added about the concept of Բⲹٳ (superfluity) or unnecessary antecedent. It has already been said that a cause is an antecedent of an effect; it is an invariable antecedent which is always followed by an effect. There are, again, some things which may be invariable antecedents of some effects, but these are not necessary for the production of the effect. For example the colour of a staff (岹ṇḍ) is an invariable antecedent of a jar, but it is not a necessary condition for the production of the jar. Hence, it is not regarded as the cause of the jar;it is called an Բⲹٳ (superfluity). Thus Բⲹٳs are invariable antecedents of effects which are unnecessary and conditional.
