: Wikisource: Ashtavakra GitaRajjusarpavat (啶班啷嵿啷佮じ啶班啶さ啶む) refers to the 鈥渞esemblance of a snake in a rope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. [...] That in which all this appears鈥攊magined like the snake in a rope (rajjusarpavat) [yatra vi艣vamida峁� bh膩ti kalpita峁� rajjusarpavat], that joy, supreme joy and awareness is what you are, so be happy. If one thinks of oneself as free, one is free, and if one thinks of oneself as bound, one is bound. Here this saying is true, 鈥楾hinking makes it so鈥�. [...]鈥�.
