Samavetasamavāya (समवेतसमवाय) refers to “inherence with what is inherent” and represents one of the six divisions of Sannikarṣa (“sense object contact”), according to the 17th century Tarkasaṃgraha. The ordinary perception (laukika),  one of the two types of pratyakṣa (perception), is caused by ordinary sannikarṣa or sense object contact. Inherent union with the inherently united (samaveta-samavāya) is the contact in cognizing soundness, as the genus soundness is inherently united with sound which is inherently united with auditory sense.
