In Hinduism
Vedanta (school of philosophy)
: Wikisource: Ashtavakra Gitaṛṣṇāh (कृष्णाहि) refers to the �(great) black snake (of the self-opinion)�, 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 (-ṛṣṇāh) of the self-opinion that 'I am the doer' [aha� kartetyahammānamahākṛṣṇāhidaṃśita�], 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', and be happy and free from distress. [...]�.

Vedanta (वेदान्�, 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).
