Vaisesika Sūtra 5.2.18

तदभावे संयोगाभावोऽप्रादुर्भावश्च मोक्षः ॥१८॥

tadabhāvē saṁyōgābhāvō'prādurbhāvaś ca mōkṣaḥ ॥18॥

[तत्-अभावे (tat-abhāve) - in absence of that; संयोग-अभावः (saṁyoga-abhāvaḥ) - absence of conjunction; अप्रादुर्भावः-च (aprādurbhāvaḥ-ca) - and non-manifestation; मोक्षः (mokṣaḥ) - liberation;]

In its absence, there is no conjunction and no manifestation — that is liberation.
