Detailed explanation-1: -Parināma-vāda is the term that refers to the non-advaitin theory of actual transformation. This is different from vivartavada, the advaita theory of apparent transformation. It is the theory that the effect is a real transformation of the cause.

Detailed explanation-2: -According to the Vaisheshika thinkers, all objects of the universe are composed of atoms of earth, water, air and fire. Hence, the view of the Vaisheshika concerning creation is called Atomism or Paramanuvada.

Detailed explanation-3: -Vivartavada is the idea that. the world is merely an unreal manifestation (vivarta) of Brahman. Vivartavada states that although Brahman appears to undergo a transformation, in fact no real change takes place.

Detailed explanation-4: -Clay turning into pot is an example, of parinamavada while the rope appearing as a snake is an example of vivartavada. In this way, according to parinamavada, the cause and effect is the same while according to vivartavada the two are different or separate.

Detailed explanation-5: -The impersonalist philosophy, vivarta-vāda, generally cites the acceptance of a rope to be a snake as an example of this fact. According to this example, the varieties within our vision are false, just as a rope seen to be a snake is false.
