In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita SastraCetovimukta (啶氞啶む啶掂た啶啶曕啶�) refers to one of the nine 补艣补颈办峁 types of the twenty-seven total classes of individuals (pudgala), as mentioned in the 2nd century Mah膩praj帽膩p膩ramit膩艣膩stra chapter 36. In contrast to the P峁泃hagjana 鈥榯he worldly鈥�, the 膧ryas who have entered onto the Path (尘腻谤驳补) and who make up the holy Community (蝉补峁僩丑补), are arranged into various groups. Cetovimukta is one that is an 鈥淎rhat possessing deliverance of mind鈥�.
The list of the twenty-seven individuals [viz., Cetovimukta] is one of the masterpieces of the Sarv膩stiv膩din-Vaibha峁ka Abhidharma which, with the help of the canonical sources, has located them precisely along the Path to Nirv膩峁嘺. (cf. Vibh膩峁Ｄ�, Sa峁儁ukt膩bhidharmas膩ra and Abhidharm膩m峁泃a). The Praj帽膩p膩ramit膩s have used the preceding sources broadly to establish their twenty categories of saints, but the end-point of the career is no longer the entry into Nirv膩峁嘺 but the arrival at the state of Buddha by the conquest of Anuttarasa峁儁aksa峁僢odhi.
Mahayana (啶す啶距く啶距え, mah膩y膩na) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many 蝉奴迟谤补蝉 of which some of the earliest are the various Praj帽膩p膩ramit膩 蝉奴迟谤补蝉.

Sanskrit, also spelled 啶膏啶膏啶曕啶むぎ啷� (蝉补峁僺办峁泃补尘), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
