⚠️ Demo Notice

This website is a technical demonstration of knowledge graph and LLM capabilities, not an authoritative reference on Indian philosophy. It makes no claims about the correctness, completeness, or scholarly accuracy of any philosophical position shown here.

The underlying data (darshana-graph) was extracted automatically from source texts using LLMs. Source texts may be incomplete, mistranslated, or mis-attributed. Concept tagging, school labels, and relation types may contain errors. LLM-generated summaries may hallucinate or misrepresent philosophical positions. A known production bug where non-Vedanta traditions (Buddhism, Jainism) were shown Vedantic content due to a retrieval fallback error has been fixed, but other errors may remain.

For reliable study of Indian philosophy, please consult qualified teachers and established scholarly sources. This tool is provided for research and exploration only.

Dharma
In Jain philosophy, dharma refers to attributes that can be primary or secondary (cite: edge_022649). The primary attribute of dharma is called 'arpita' or 'upanīta' (cite: edge_022649). On the other hand, secondary attributes of dharma are referred to as 'anarpita' and are considered gauṇa, or secondary, aspects (cite: edge_022650). These distinctions help to clarify the concept of dharma in Jain thought (cite: edge_022650).
