(Aph.) (Righteousness proper differs) also in respect of its immutable nature and universality. (XIII)
(Gloss) The righteousness popular undergoes change in accordance with place, time and the like, and is susceptible to alteration by different classes (of people ). Righteousness (proper ), however, is the cause of the purification of the soul and is immutable and universal. This is the fundamental difference between the two.
The differentiation of righteousness into "major vows" and "minor vows" to be followed respectively by a monk and a householder has been made only in view of their different capacities of fulfilment. Thus there is no contradiction of the universality of righteousness being universally and uniformly valid.

ग्रामादिषु जनानामौचित्येन वित्तार्जनव्ययविवाहभोज्यादिप्रथानां पारस्परिक सहयोगादेर्वा आचरणम् – आचारः । तेषां च हितसंरक्षणार्थं प्रयुज्यमाना उपायाः - व्यवस्था । सा च कौटुम्बिकी, सामाजिकी, राष्ट्रिय, अन्ताराष्ट्रिय । चेति बहुविधा । ते च लोकधर्मः - लौकिको व्यवहार इत्युच्यते, आगमेऽपि तथादर्शनात् यथा - "गामधम्मे, नगरधम्मे, धम्मे, कुलधम्मे, गणधम्मे" इत्यादि ।
लोकधर्मेऽपि क्वचिदहिंसादीनामाचरणं भवति, तदपेक्षयाऽनेन धर्मस्य भिन्नता न विभावनीया, किन्तु भोगोपवर्धकवस्तुव्यवहारापेक्षयैव ।
