Antargalita (अन्तर्गलित) refers to “having shed all desires within” (by those seeking liberation), according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “Unmoved and undistressed, realising that being, non-being and transformation are of the very nature of things, one easily finds peace. At peace, having shed all desires within (antargalita), and realising that nothing exists here but the Lord, the Creator of all things, one is no longer attached to anything [antargalitasarvāśaḥ śāntaḥ kvāpi na sajjate]. [...]”.
