[«𱹾dzܲ Ա»] � Vishuddhabodha in Vedanta glossary
: Wikisource: Ashtavakra Gita

վśܻ󲹲ǻ (विशुद्धबोध) refers to “pure awareness� and is used to describe the Ātman (one’s own self), according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “[...] For liberation know yourself as consisting of consciousness, the witness of these [five elements]. [...] 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. Since you have been bitten by the black snake of the self-opinion that 'I am the doer', drink the nectar of faith in the fact that 'I am not the doer', and be happy. Burn down the forest of ignorance with the fire of the understanding that 'I am the one pure awareness (śܻ󲹲ǻ)' [eko viśuddhabodho'hamiti niścayavahninā], and be happy and free from distress. [...]�.
