In Hinduism
Vedanta (school of philosophy)
Source: Shodhganga: Siva Gita A Critical StudyPañcīkaraṇa (पञ्चीकरण) refers to “quintuplication”.—The process of pañcīkaraṇa is as follows: first divide each subtle element into two equal halves. Then divide one half of each into four. Now combine the undivided half of each element with one-eighth part of each of four other elements. Thus each gross element will consist of half of the corresponding subtle element and four fractions from the other four subtle elements. It will have a five fold composition. Thus is accomplished by pañcīkaraṇa or five-foldment.
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).
