In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Pravivikta (प्रविविक्त) refers to “(that which is) distinct from”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “Then, the Lord went on to speak these verses: ‘[...] (85) All fields of perception (sarvakṣetra) are not being like fields of perception. All dharmas (sarvadharma) are distinct from (pravivikta) being like any dharma. All beings (sarvasatva) are same as beings without the self (anātman). The insight investigating with intelligence knows this. [...]’”.
Mahayana (महायान, mahāyāna) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many sūtras of which some of the earliest are the various Prajñāpāramitā sūtras.
