Vaisesika Sūtra 1.1.8

सदनित्यं द्रव्यवत् कार्यं कारणं सामान्यविशेषवदिति द्रव्यगुणकर्मणामविशेषः ॥८॥

sadanityaṁ dravyavat kāryaṁ kāraṇaṁ sāmānyaviśēṣavaditi dravyaguṇakarmaṇāmaviśēṣaḥ ॥8॥

[सत् अनित्यं द्रव्यवत् कार्यं कारणं सामान्य विशेषवत् इति द्रव्य गुण कर्मणाम् अविशेषः॥
sat = truth / being; anityaṁ = that which is not permanent / non-being; dravyavat = like substance; kāryaṁ = effect; kāraṇaṁ = its cause; sāmānya = generality; viśēṣavat = and particularity; iti = thus; dravya guṇa karmaṇām = of substances, aviśēṣaḥ = without distinction;]

The substances because of cause and effect manifest into being (sat) and non-being (anitya), and are classified as generality (sāmānya) and particularity (viśēṣa). Thus the substance, qualities and actions are present without particularity.
