: Wikisource: Ashtavakra GitaṛdⲹԳٳ (हृदयग्रन्थ�) refers to the “knots of one’s heart�, according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “[...] The wise man excels in being without the sense of ‘me�. Earth, a stone or gold are the same to him. The knots of his heart (ṛdⲹԳٳ) have been rent asunder, and he is freed from greed and blindness. [subhinnaṛdⲹԳٳrvinirdhūtarajastamā�] Who can compare with that contented, liberated soul who pays no regard to anything and has no desire left in his heart? Who but the upright man without desire knows without knowing, sees without seeing and speaks without speaking? [...]�.

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).
