ղṛṣṇy (वैतृष्ण्�) refers to “one who is without greed�, according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “[...] The liberated man is self-possessed in all circumstances and free from the idea of ‘done� and ‘still to do�. He is the same wherever he is and without greed (ṛṣṇy). He does not dwell on what he has done or not done. [sama� sarvatra vaitṛṣṇyānna smaratyakṛta� kṛtam] He is not pleased when praised nor upset when blamed. He is not afraid of death nor attached to life. A man at peace does not run off to popular resorts or to the forest. Whatever and wherever, he remains the same. [...]�.
