I. 1. Ahn. 1. The fault occurs when the place and the means of utterance are pressed and drawn in;cf. 啶ㄠた啶班じ啷嵿い啶� 啶膏啶ムぞ啶ㄠ啶班ぃ啶距お啶曕ぐ啷嵿し啷� (nirasta峁� sth膩nakara峁嚹乸akar峁) R. Pr. XIV. 2.
Vyakarana (啶掂啶ぞ啶曕ぐ啶�, vy膩kara峁嘺) refers to Sanskrit grammar and represents one of the six additional sciences (vedanga) to be studied along with the Vedas.

Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
: Shodhganga: Kohala in the Sanskrit textual tradition (ns)Nirasta (啶ㄠた啶班じ啷嵿い) refers to one of the nine 鈥渂reathing techniques鈥� (anila) (i.e., 鈥渢echniques of inhalation and exhalation鈥�) described by Kohala, as mentioned in citations by the Sa峁単墨taratn膩kara (Vol. IV, Chapter VII, p.162), the Sa峁単墨tar膩ja (N峁泃yaratnako艣a, Ull膩sa 1, Par墨k峁峁嘺 3, p.94-95), and the N峁泃y膩dhy膩ya (Up膩峁単a Prakara峁嘺, p.164).鈥擳he names of these varieties of breathing techniques are more or less the same in all the three works. [For example, nirasta] A verse explaining each of these techniques is found in both Sang墨tar膩ja as well as N峁泃y膩dhy膩ya. These explanatory verses appear to be the words of these authors and not direct quotations of Kohala.

Vedanta (school of philosophy)
: Wikisource: Ashtavakra Gita1) Nirasta (啶ㄠた啶班じ啷嵿い) refers to the 鈥渃essation鈥� (of desire), 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 may, as a learned man, indulge in wealth, activity and meditation, but your mind will still long for that which is the cessation (nirasta) of desire, and beyond all goals. [citta峁� nirastasarv膩艣amatyartha峁� rocayi峁ati] It is because of effort that everyone is in pain, but no-one realises it. By just this simple instruction, the lucky one attains tranquility. [...]鈥�.
2) Nirasta (啶ㄠた啶班じ啷嵿い) refers to the 鈥渃essation (of imagination)鈥�.鈥擜ccordingly, [as A峁ａ弓avakra says to Janaka]: 鈥淸...] The spontaneous unassumed behaviour of the wise is noteworthy, but not the deliberate, intentional stillness of the fool. The wise who are rid of imagination (苍颈谤补蝉迟补-办补濒辫补苍腻), unbound and with unfettered awareness [nirastakalpan膩 dh墨r膩 abaddh膩 muktabuddhaya岣�] may enjoy themselves in the midst of many goods, or alternatively go off to mountain caves. [...]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).
