adharma

adharma Tatpur. 1. m. (-rmaḥ) ¹ Unrighteousness, injustice, all

behaviour contrary to the Śruti and Smṛti, or religious

and legal institutions. ² (In philosophy.) According to the

Nyāya and Vaiśeṣika: moral demerit, the result of doing

what is forbidden, the peculiar cause of pain, one of the

twenty-four qualities united with substance.--According

to the Sāṅkhya, one of the changeable (vaikṛtika) dispo-

sitions (bhāva) of the mind, which being the efficient cause,

makes the soul migrate into an animal, a deer, a bird, a

reptile, a vegetable, a mineral.--According to the Bud-

dhistic doctrine it is the consequence of upādāna or exertion

of body or speech.--According to the Jainas it is that

which causes the soul in general to continue embarrassed

with body notwithstanding its capacity for ascent and na-

tural tendency to soar. ³ As a personification Adharma oc-

curs in the Purāṇas as one of the Prajāpatis or mind-born

sons of Brahmā; his wife is Hinsā (mischief) on whom he

begot Anṛta (falsehood) and Nikṛti (immorality) or ac-

cording to others, Mṛṣā (falsehood) and his children Dam-

bha (hypocrisy) and Māyā (deceit) who were adopted by

Nirṛti (misfortune).--Adharma is also mentioned as one

of the eighteen servants of the sun.

ADHARMA . A description of the lineage of Adharma

is found in Agni Purāṇa. Hiṃsā (violence) is the

consort of Adharma. The couple procreated two

children, Anṛta and Nikṛti, and from them sprang

up Bhaya (fear), Naraka (Hell), Māyā (illusion),

Vedanā (pain) etc. And, out of them Māyā brought

forth Death, the destroyer of (all) objects. Vedanā, in

its turn produced Sorrow and Grief out of Raurava.

From Death were born Disease, Senility, Sorrow, Intense

desire and Anger. (Agni Purāṇa, Chapter 20).

ADHARMA . Adharma is a person who is an embodi-

ment of Adharmas. (M.B. Ādi Parva, Chapter 66,

Verse 53). Adharma's wife Nirṛti delivered 3 children;

Bhaya, Mahābhaya and Mṛtyu. Adharma had another

son, Darpa (conceit) born of Wealth. (M.B. Śānti

Parva, Chapter 90, Verse 27).
