The Nyaya-Vaiseşika view on Karma:
Other Indian systems of thought have admitted this doctrine of karma by different appellations. The Naiyayikas have accepted the three vices or faults, viz. rāga (attachment), dveşa (aversion) and moha (delusion). The pravṛtti (activity) of mind, speech and body of beings takes place on receipt of the impulse from these three vices. Merit and demerit or virtue and vice (dharma and adharma) orginate from this pravṛtti. Dharma and adharma (merit and demerit) have been called by the Naiyayikas as sanskāras (forces)."
