: Wikisource: Ashtavakra Gita

Śṇaٰ (श्रवणमात्र) refers to “merely hearing (the Truth)�, according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “[...] The man who is free from doubts and whose mind is free does not bother about means of liberation. Whether seeing, hearing, feeling smelling or tasting, he lives at ease. He whose mind is pure and undistracted from the simple hearing of the Truth (ٳ-śṇaٰ) [vastuśravaṇamātreṇa śuddhabuddhirnirākula�] sees neither something to do nor something to avoid nor a cause for indifference. [...]�.
