This is the assertion of a divergent Vaiśeṣika master. Dharma and adharma are subsumed under the category of quality (guṇa). What is beneficial to human beings is called dharma; what is unbeneficial to human beings is called adharma. By the power of these two, dharmas are born and dharmas perish. For example, in a dark room there is a bright lamp: with regard to the user, the lamp's presence is beneficial, which is dharma producing it; the lamp's extinguishing is unbeneficial, which is adharma destroying it. With regard to a thief, the lamp's presence is unbeneficial, which is adharma producing it; the lamp's extinguishing is beneficial, which is dharma destroying it. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 13.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.13.40) - [Next: 13.42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.13.42) - [Up: 13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.13) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822~en-mt.13.41) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [俱舍論記](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1821.13.39) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.13.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.13.41) · Pramāṇa
