Ātmavāda (आत्मवाद) or Ātmavādopādāna refers to the “doctrine of self grasping” and represents one of the four graspings (upādāna), according to Dharmaśrī’s Abhidharmahṛdaya 86 and the Saṃyuktābhidharmahṛdaya 196, 200-3.—Accordingly, “Doctrine of self grasping (ātmavāda-upādāna) = existence yoke (bhavayoga), plus the ignorances of the two higher realms= ten attachments, ten conceits, ten ignorances, eight doubts = thirty-eight real entities”.

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.
