: Wikisource: Ashtavakra GitaBhavadurlabha (भवदुर्लभ) refers to a “hard-to-find person�, according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “[...] None of these senses please a man who has found satisfaction within, just as Nimba leaves do not please the elephant that has a taste for Sallaki leaves. Not attached to the things he has enjoyed, and not hankering after the things he has not enjoyed, such a man is hard to find (bhavadurlabha). [abhukteṣu nirākāṅkṣ� tādṛśo bhavadurlabha�] [...]�.

Vedanta (वेदान्�, 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).
