Translation: "the theory that cause alone exists"

A Concise Dictionary of Indian Philosophy
Sanskrit: सत्कारणवाद
Transliteration: Satkāraṇa-Vāda
Translation: "the theory that cause alone exists"
Definition:

1. Strictly speaking, the Advaita Vedānta theory of causation should be called this, instead of Satkārya-Vāda. The cause alone is real and ever existent, and all effects or phenomena in themselves are unreal.
2. See Vivarta-Vāda.
