Scholar of religion Richard H. Davis has said that "darśana" (viewpoint, philosophical school) is one of three terms in classical Indian discourse that could be considered roughly analogous to what today's English-speakers understand as "religion." The other two terms are "dharma" (duty, morality, a code of proper conduct) and "marga" (route, spiritual path). According to Davis, "most Hindu texts accepted that religious paths ("marga") are relative to the points of view ("darśana") and moral responsibilities ("dharma") of practitioners, whose individual circumstances may make one or another course of action more appropriate in their particular situations."
