Vaisesika Sūtra 5.1.17

नोदनादाद्यमिषोः कर्म तत्कर्मकारिताच्च संस्कारादुत्तरं तथोत्तरमुत्तरञ्च ॥१७॥

nodanād ādyamiṣoḥ karma tatkarmakāritāc ca saṁskārād uttaraṁ tathottaram uttarañ ca ॥17॥

[नोदनात् (nodanāt) - through propulsion; आद्य-अमिषः (ādya-amiṣaḥ) - the primary substance; कर्म (karma) - action; तत्-कर्म-कारितात् (tat-karma-kāritāt) - caused by that action; च (ca) - and; संस्कारात् (saṁskārāt) - from impression; उत्तरं (uttaram) - next; तथा (tathā) - likewise; उत्तरम् (uttaram) - next; उत्तरञ्च (uttarañ ca) - and yet next;]

The movement of the primary substance from propulsion causes successive motions through impression.
