In Hinduism
Vedanta (school of philosophy)
Source: Wikisource: Ashtavakra GitaPutradārā (पुत्रदारा) refers to “one’s children and wives”, according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “[...] The wise man stands out by being free from anticipation, without attachment to such things as children or wives (putradārā), free from desire for the senses [niḥsnehaḥ putradārādau niṣkāmo viṣayeṣu ca], and not even concerned about his own body. Peace is everywhere for the wise man who lives on whatever happens to come to him, going to wherever he feels like, and sleeping wherever the sun happens to set. [...]”.
Vedanta (वेदान्त, vedānta) refers to a school of orthodox Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads.
