Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita SastraGaurava (啶椸啶班さ) refers to 鈥渞espect鈥�, according to Mah膩praj帽膩p膩ramit膩艣膩stra (chapter 4).鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥淸The Buddha] is single-minded (ekacitta), without duality (advaya). In all things, whatever they may be, food and drink (腻丑腻谤补), robes and clothing (辫补峁璦-惫补蝉补苍补), beds and seats (艣补测补-腻蝉补苍补), praise and blame (惫补谤峁嘺苍补-惫颈箩峁沵产丑腻), mistrust and respect (惫颈迟补峁囜笉补苍补-驳补耻谤补惫补), the Buddha鈥檚 mind remains indifferent. It is like pure gold which, even when burned, melted, beaten or polished, shows no increase or decrease. [On the contrary], the Arhats, although they have broken the bonds (bandhana) and have found the Path, still retain the traces (惫腻蝉补苍补) [of the passions]; this is why they cannot be called Bhagavat鈥�.

[... ] That gift would have purity of receiver, whose receiver is such a man [who is] lacking in three vanities (gaurava), [...]鈥�.

India history and geography
Source: Wisdom Library: Teachers, Saints and SagesGaurava (啶椸啶班さ) or Gauravan膩tha refers to one of the eighty-four Siddhas (Siddh膩c膩ryas) mentioned in various sources as being representative teachers of Sahajiya Tantrism, Alchemy, Nath Sampradaya and other traditions having influence in the Indian subcontinent and the Himalayas.鈥擬any of these Mah膩siddhas [e.g., Gaurava-n膩tha] were historical figures whose lives and mystical powers were the subject of legends. They are often associated with teachings belonging to Hinduism, Buddhism, Ajivikism and Jainism and are evident of a caste-less interreligious spiritual society.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
