Source: Wikisource: Ashtavakra GitaViśvapota (विश्वपोत) refers to the “world bark”, according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Janaka says to Aṣṭavakra]: “It is in the infinite ocean of myself that the world bark (viśvapota) wanders here and there [mayyanantamahāmbhodhau viśvapota itastataḥ], driven by its own inner wind. I am not upset by that. Let the world wave rise or vanish of its own nature in the infinite ocean of myself. There is no increase or diminution to me from it. [...]”
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).
