Pīyūṣadhārāsāra (पीयूषधारासार) refers to the “torrential rain of the nectar” (of peace), according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “[...] How can there be happiness, for one who is burnt inside by the blistering sun of the pain of things that need doing, without the rain of the nectar (pīyūṣadhārāsāra) of peace? [kutaḥ praśamapīyūṣadhārāsāramṛte sukham] This existence is just imagination. It is nothing in reality, but there is no non-being for natures that know how to distinguish being from non being. [...]”.
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).
