Āṛśaṃsⲹ (आनृशंस्य) refers to one of the ten Yamas (disciplines) prescribed for forest dwelling, as mentioned in the Vaikhnasasmrtasūtra.—The Mnasollsa verse 9.21-24ab lists thirty Yamas and Niyamas. The Vaikhnasasmrtasūtra (8.4), whose date has been estimated between the fourth and eighth centuries, is the earliest source for a list of twenty Yamas and Niyamas [e.g., ṛśaṃsⲹ]. These were prescribed to a sage at the forest dwelling (ś) stage of life.
