In Hinduism
Vedanta (school of philosophy)
Arthasaṃnyāsin (अर्थसंन्यासिन्) refers to “one who has abandoned all goals”, according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “[...] Glorious is he who has abandoned all goals (arthasaṃnyāsin) and is the incarnation of satisfaction, his very nature, [sa jayatyarthasaṃnyāsī pūrṇasvarasavigrahaḥ] and whose inner focus on the Unconditioned is quite spontaneous. In brief, the great-souled man who has come to know the Truth is without desire for either pleasure or liberation, and is always and everywhere free from attachment. [...]”.
Vedanta (वेदान्त, vedānta) refers to a school of orthodox Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. There are a number of sub-schools of Vedanta, however all of them expound on the basic teaching of the ultimate reality (brahman) and liberation (moksha) of the individual soul (atman).

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
