In Hinduism
Vedanta (school of philosophy)
: Google Books: Sankara’s Vedanta through His Upanisad CommentariesBhikṣcrya (भिक्षाचार्�) refers to “begging� and represents a term used for renunciation.—Śaṅkara often uses terms for renunciation drawn from the Bṛhadraṇyaka-upaniṣad: ܳٳٳԲ (“transcendence”—literally “intensely rising up or away from�), ṣcⲹ (“begging�) and 貹ᾱ (“one who goes forth”—appearing mostly in its derivative form 貹Ჹ첹, which by the medieval period designated the most radical type of renunciation). But he also interjects the synonyms ṃn (“set down completely�) and ٲ岵 (“letting go� or “abandoning�) or pariٲ岵 (“complete letting go� or complete abandoning) both widely used in epic sources such as the Bhagavadgīt and in more specialized medieval Vednta sources focusing exclusively on renunciation.

Vedanta (वेदान्�, vednta) 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).
