Six factors (shat-karanas) are essential for restoring the equilibrium of [[dhatus]] (dhatu saamya), which is the primary objective of [[Charak Samhita]]. As abhava is not required to achieve this objective, Charak has not enumerated and further described abhava. Charak has accepted that there are two types of entities in this universe viz. Sat (entities do have existence), and asat (entities do not have existence). While explaining the principle of “Svabhavaparamavada” (theory of natural destruction), the abhava principle has been accepted. The non-existence of causative factors (hetohavartanam) is considered the cause of the destruction of disequilibrium of [[dhatu]] (dhatu vaishamya). [Cha.Sa.[[Sutra Sthana]] 16/27]
