Nidana Sthana 5/30), shwitra (Cha. Sa. Chikitsa Sthana 7/177), unmada (Cha. Sa. Chikitsa Sthana 9/7, Chakrapani on Cha. Sa.

== Adharma as an important cause of occurrence of janapadodhwansa (pandemic or epidemic) like conditions ==
<p style="text-align:justify;">The janapadodhwansa chapter clearly mentions the adharma as the main cause of vitiation of all the factors including air (vayu), water (udaka), soil( desha) and season or time (kaala) stating it as prime factor for the occurrence of janapadodhwansa. The root cause of this adharma is both the wrong deeds done in the past (poorvakrita asatkarma) and its origin lies in pragyaparadha which represents the lifestyle and diet related factors in present life. (Cha. Sa. Vimana Sthana 3/20, Chakrapani on Cha. Sa. Vimana Sthana 3/1-2)
* Contemporary forms of adharma-
# Irresponsible behaviour of authorities , lack of proper political administration and governance.
# Irresponsible individual behaviour- generalised lack of morality and appropriate behaviour by the residents of community.
# Result of decrease in adharma behavior amongst the people in community
# Seasonal variations: Untimely or lack of rainfall, abnormal wind and air movement; the affliction of land, the drying up of water reservoirs and deterioration herbs. As a result, there is occurrence of infectious contact or ingestion of polluted food and water. (Cha. Sa. Vimana Sthana 3/20)
<br/>The adharma results in riots/war (shastraprabhava), rakshogana (infliction with infection or foreign attacks), abhishapa (misconduct towards deities, respected personnel etc.) (Cha. Sa. Vimana Sthana 3/21-23). These are also considered to be the subtypes of adharma as per chakrapani commentary (Chakrapani on Cha. Sa. Vimana Sthana 3/21-23) This also focuses on the social and community behaviour affecting the harmony and health of the society. </p>
