SUTRA 2: Nyaya Sutra, Patanjali Sutra, Samkhya Sutra Vivaranam, Shakti Sutra, Shiva Sutra, Vaisheshika Sutra, Vatulanatha Sutra
The Vaisheshika Sutra takes its stand,
On what the world is made by hand.
It classifies all that exists,
In terms of fundamental lists.
The six categories it makes clear,
Are central to its vision here.
Substance holds the elements true,
Like earth, air, fire, water too.
Then quality describes the feel,
Of color, taste, and what is real.
Action shows the kind of move,
That objects in the world can prove.
With generality and the specific view,
And inherence, the parts stick true.
It claims that all is built of small,
Indivisible atoms in us all.
