Viṣādatā (विषादता) refers to “sorrow” (as opposed to Harṣa—joy), according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “[...] He who is desireless, self-reliant, independent and free of bonds functions like a dead leaf blown about by the wind of causality. There is neither joy nor sorrow (viṣādatā) for one who has transcended samsara [asaṃsārasya tu kvāpi na harṣo na viṣādatā]. He lives always with a peaceful mind and as if without a body. [...]”.
