It is defined as being without delusion concerning what is true, due to discrimination; its function is to cause one to not engage in unwholesome actions.<ref name=g1>Guenther (1975), Kindle Locations 542-544.</ref><ref name=eric1>Kunsang (2004), p. 25.</ref> It is one of the mental factors within the Abhidharma teachings.
The Abhidharma-samuccaya states:
:What is non-deludedness? It is a thorough comprehension of (practical) knowledge that comes from maturation, instructions, thinking and understanding, and its function is to provide a basis for not becoming involved in evil behavior.<ref name="g1"/>
Herbert Guenther states: : It is a distinct discriminatory awareness to counteract the deludedness that has its cause in either what one has been born into or what one has acquired.<ref name="g1"/>
