Anuddharṣa (अनुद्धर्ष) refers to “non-exultation” and represents one of the seven moral and spiritual disciplines (sādhana-saptaka), according to the religious practices of Rāmānuja’s ethics (sādhanās) for attaining liberation.—non-exultation (anuddharṣa) involves a capacity to resist excitement and exultation, and maintain mental equipoise under, all circumstances. [...] Rāmānuja emphasizes that persistent and sincere practise of these ethical disciplines [e.g., anuddharṣa], together with detachment, discrimination, and performance of one’s duties, practise of attention and constant contemplation on God, will purify the mind of an aspirant and produce competence for realizing God as one’s inner self.
