Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation1) 碍奴峁璦蝉迟丑补 (啶曕啶熰じ啷嵿ぅ) or 碍奴峁璦蝉迟丑补r奴pa refers to one who assumes the form of 鈥減erpetually immovable鈥� and represents and epithet of Goddess Durg膩, according to the 艢ivapur膩峁嘺 2.2.11. Accordingly as Brahm膩 said to N膩rada:鈥斺�淸...] O sage, seeing her [Durg膩] who was 艢iva鈥檚 Energy herself, directly in front of me, my lofty shoulders bent down with devotion and I eulogised her after due obeisance. [...] Thou art the Vidy膩 of diverse sorts. Thou art endowed with illumination, purity and detachment. Thou assumest 碍奴峁璦蝉迟丑补 (perpetually immovable), Avyakta (unmanifest) and Ananta (infinite) form and Thou art the eternal time holding all the worlds鈥�.
2) 碍奴峁璦蝉迟丑补 (啶曕啶熰じ啷嵿ぅ) refers to the 鈥減rimordial Being鈥�, and is used as an epithet of 艢iva, according to the 艢ivapur膩峁嘺 2.2.19. Accordingly as Brahm膩 narrated to N膩rada:鈥斺�淸...] thus commanded by 艢iva in the presence of all, Vi峁ａ箛u spoke thus propitiating the great lord:鈥斺�榌...] O 艢iva, you are the supreme brilliance, the firmament, having your own abode. You are the primordial Being (碍奴峁璦蝉迟丑补), the immovable, the unmanifest, of endless forms, the eternal and devoid of attributes鈥攍ength etc. From this form alone everything has emanated鈥欌��.
The Purana (啶啶班ぞ啶�, pur膩峁嘺s) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India鈥檚 vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)
: Pure Bhakti: Bhagavad-gita (4th edition)碍奴峁璦蝉迟丑补 (啶曕啶熰じ啷嵿ぅ) refers to 鈥渇irmly situated in one鈥檚 own transcendental position, free from any sensual agitation鈥�. (cf. Glossary page from 艢谤墨尘补诲-叠丑补驳补惫补诲-骋墨迟腻).
Vaishnava (啶掂啶粪啶｀さ, vai峁ａ箛ava) or vaishnavism (vai峁ａ箛avism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshipping Vishnu as the supreme Lord. Similar to the Shaktism and Shaivism traditions, Vaishnavism also developed as an individual movement, famous for its exposition of the dashavatara (鈥榯en avatars of Vishnu鈥�).
Pancaratra (worship of N膩r膩ya峁嘺)
: Google Books: The Goddess Lak峁墨: The Divine Consort in South Indian Vai峁ａ箛ava Tradition碍奴峁璦蝉迟丑补 (啶曕啶熰じ啷嵿ぅ) refers to the 鈥渁ggregate (of souls)鈥� which emerges during the intermediary creation (艣耻诲诲丑别迟补谤补), according to the Lak峁墨tantra dealing with the philosophy of the Pa帽car膩tra.鈥擳he intermediary creation, which is called non-pure creation (艣耻诲诲丑别迟补谤补, because it is a mixture of both pure and impure), emanates from the 产丑奴迟颈-艣补办迟颈. During the intermediary creation there are two manifestations from the 产丑奴迟颈-艣补办迟颈鈥�办奴峁璦蝉迟丑补-辫耻谤耻峁 (aggregate of souls) and 尘腻测腻-艣补办迟颈 (non-spiritual energy). Both of these actually emanate from the 惫测奴丑补 called Pradyumna. The disembodied souls that are bound by karma originate from the 办奴峁璦蝉迟丑补-辫耻谤耻峁 at the time of creation and return to it at the time of dissolution. The material universe belongs to the 尘补测腻-艣补办迟颈. After the manifestation of the 办奴峁璦蝉迟丑补-辫耻谤耻峁 and the 尘腻测腻-艣补办迟颈, the 惫测奴丑补, called Aniruddha, becomes responsible for the emergence of 艣补办迟颈 (identified as 尘奴濒补辫谤补办峁泃颈鈥拦辞辞迟-尘补迟迟别谤).
Pancaratra (啶ぞ啶炧啶氞ぐ啶距い啷嵿ぐ, p膩帽car膩tra) represents a tradition of Hinduism where Narayana is revered and worshipped. Closeley related to Vaishnavism, the Pancaratra literature includes various Agamas and tantras incorporating many Vaishnava philosophies.
Vedanta (school of philosophy)
: Wikisource: Ashtavakra Gita碍奴峁璦蝉迟丑补 (啶曕啶熰じ啷嵿ぅ) refers to 鈥渕otionless (awareness)鈥�, according to the A峁ａ弓膩vakrag墨t膩 (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Ved膩nta topics.鈥擜ccordingly, [as A峁ａ弓avakra says to Janaka]: 鈥淸...] You are the one witness of everything, and are always totally free. The cause of your bondage is that you see the witness as something other than this. [...] Meditate on yourself as motionless awareness (办奴峁璦蝉迟丑补), free from any dualism [办奴峁璦蝉迟丑补峁� bodhamadvaitam膩tm膩na峁� paribh膩vaya], giving up the mistaken idea that you are just a derivative consciousness, or anything external or internal. You have long been trapped in the snare of identification with the body. Sever it with the knife of knowledge that 'I am awareness', and be happy, my son. [...] 鈥�.
Vedanta (啶掂啶︵ぞ啶ㄠ啶�, ved膩nta) 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).
