Write the adjunction as the natural bijection
The unit of an adjunction and counit of an adjunction are the natural transformations whose components are
Naturality of the hom-set bijections gives, for and ,
For example, postcomposition by in the first hom-set corresponds to postcomposition by in the second, giving the first formula; naturality in gives the second. The same naturality says that, for and ,
Thus these components do define the asserted natural transformations and .
