In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita SastraNirupalepa (啶ㄠた啶班啶げ啷囙お) refers to the 鈥渟tainless鈥� (characteristic of dharmas), according to Mah膩辫谤补箩帽腻p膩ramit膩艣膩stra (chapter 41).鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥淸The eighteen 腻惫别峁噄办补-诲丑补谤尘补蝉 (鈥榮pecial attributes鈥�)]鈥擺...] (10) He has no loss of wisdom.鈥擜s the Buddha has obtained all these wisdoms (辫谤补箩帽腻), he has no loss of wisdom; as his wisdom of the three times is unobstructed, he has no loss of wisdom. [...] Furthermore, his wisdom really understands the [true] nature of dharmas, non-arising, non-cessation, non-defilement, non-purification, non-action, non-functioning. He makes no distinction between true knowledge and false knowledge He knows that the dharmas are identical and equally pure, without defilement and without stain (nirupalepa) like space. Disregarding all duality, he acquires the [true] nature of the Dharma, i.e., entry into non-duality. This entry into non-duality, characteristic of the Dharma, is immense and infinite. This is why he has no loss of wisdom. For various reasons of this kind, the Buddha has no loss of wisdom鈥�.

In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsNirupalepa (啶ㄠた啶班啶げ啷囙お) refers to 鈥減ure鈥�, according to the Ya艣astilaka Camp奴 verse 2.215-216.鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥淭he Self is by nature deathless and without any beginning, endowed with bliss and infinite power, and luminous and pure (苍颈谤耻辫补濒别辫补-驳耻峁嘺). The powerful flames of sinful Karma heat it, like mercury, after lodging it in the body. Under the intoxicating power of Karma, even a man of superior merit goes reeling down to unhappy births. Se [sic] let the wise, who know the cardinal difference between the body and the Self, strive for the bliss that is free from rebirth鈥�.
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, 鈥榮elf-reliance鈥�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.

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!).
