In Hinduism
Vedanta (school of philosophy)
: Wikisource: Ashtavakra Gita峦Իⲹ (स्वाच्छन्द्य) refers to “licentiousness� (i.e., dissolute behaviour), according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “[...] Beggar or king, he excels who is without desire, and whose opinion of things is rid of “good� and “bad�. There is neither dissolute (峦Իⲹ) behaviour nor virtue, nor even discrimination of the truth [kva 峦Իⲹ� kva saṃkoca� kva vā tattvaviniścaya�] for the sage who has reached the goal and is the very embodiment of guileless sincerity. [...]�.

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).
