In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Vimṛśya (विमृश्य) refers to “self-reflection” (i.e., ‘to ponder over one’s true self’), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.13 (“Śiva-Pārvatī dialogue”).—Accordingly, as Pārvatī said to Śiva: “[...] O lord, please ponder over who you are [i.e., vimṛśya] and who this subtle Prakṛti is. Without Prakṛti how can the great lord of the phallic form exist? You are worthy of the worship, respect and meditation of all living beings for ever, thanks to Prakṛti. Thinking of this in your heart, please reply”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
Vedanta (school of philosophy)
Vimṛśya (विमृश्य) refers to “thinking” or “meditation” (i.e., working one’s brain), according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “[...] Being pure consciousness (cinmaya), do not disturb your mind with thoughts of for and against. Be at peace and remain happily in yourself, the essence of joy. Give up the practice of concentration completely and hold nothing in your mind. You are free in your very nature, so what will you achieve by working your brain? (vimṛśya) [ātmā tvaṃ mukta evāsi kiṃ vimṛśya kariṣyasi] [...]”.
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).

[Sanskrit to German]
Vimṛśya (विमृश्य) in the Sanskrit language is related to the Prakrit word: Vimissa.
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
