In Hinduism
Vedanta (school of philosophy)
Ucchṛṅkhala (उच्छृङ्खल) refers to the “(spontaneous) unassumed behaviour” (i.e., the conduct which is unrestricted by motive), according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “[...] The spontaneous unassumed behaviour (ucchṛṅkhala) of the wise is noteworthy [ucchṛṅkhalāpyākṛtikā sthitirdhīrasya rājate], but not the deliberate, intentional stillness of the fool. The wise who are rid of imagination, unbound and with unfettered awareness may enjoy themselves in the midst of many goods, or alternatively go off to mountain caves. [...]”.
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).
