因明入正理論疏 2.5

2.5

The commentary states: The second part lists the names. 'Similar' means resembling; 'dharma' means the distinction (viśeṣa). The mutually agreed-upon subject (svabhāva) is called the possessor of the property (dharmin), and the distinction posited upon it is called the property (dharma). Now, being similar to that posited distinction is called the example of similarity; lacking that distinction is called the example of dissimilarity. 'Dissimilar' means different.
