Vivarjana (विवर्जन) refers to “eliminating” (desire and aversion), according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “[...] Who can prevent the great-souled person who has known this whole world as himself from living as he pleases? Of all four categories of beings, from Brahma down to the last clump of grass, only the man of knowledge is capable of eliminating (vivarjana) desire and aversion [vijñasyaiva hi sāmarthyamicchā'nicchāvivarjane]. Rare is the man who knows himself as the undivided Lord of the world, and no fear occurs to him who knows this from anything”.
