: Wikisource: Ashtavakra Gitaٲṅk (निरातङ्कता) refers to “courage� (which is an absent characteristic of a true Yogī), according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “[...] For the wise man who is always unchanging and fearless there is neither darkness nor light nor destruction, nor anything. There is neither fortitude, prudence nor courage (Ծٲṅk) [kva dhairya� kva vivekitva� kva Ծٲṅk'pi vā] for the yogi whose nature is beyond description and free of individuality. There is neither heaven nor hell nor even liberation during life. In a nutshell, in the sight of the seer nothing exists at all. [...]�.

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).
