: Wikisource: Ashtavakra Gita

Ұ󲹱ⲹ (ग्रहव्यग्र�) refers to “being eager for achievement� (i.e., eager for the attainment of freedom), according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “[...] Even when living without any support and eager for achievement (󲹱ⲹ), the stupid are still nourishing Saṃsāra [nirādhārā 󲹱ⲹ mūḍhā� saṃsārapoṣakā�], while the wise have cut at the very root of its unhappiness. The stupid does not find peace because he is wanting it, while the wise discriminating the truth is always peaceful minded. [...]�.
