In Hinduism
Vedanta (school of philosophy)
Source: Shodhganga: Siva Gita A Critical StudyṢadūrmi (षदूर्मि) refers to “six billows”:—
- hunger,
- thirst,
- grief,
- delusion,
- decay (by bodily disease),
- death.
Of these six ṣadūrmis, the first two belong to the prāṇa, the next two to the mind and the last two to the body. It is but natural that the Yogi should not be affected by these changes as his aim is the knowledge of the Ātman which is bereft of all qualities.
Vedanta (वेदान्त, 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).
