AԾṣi) means “forbidden�, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.7.—Accordingly, after the Goddess (Umā/Śivā) incarnated as Pārvatī by becoming the daughter of Menā:—“[...] In an auspicious hour, in the company of the sages, Himavat named his daughter Kālī and assigned other pleasing names to her. [...] The child was fondly attached to every member of the family, Hence the kinsmen called her Pārvatī, a name befitting her family. The girl had all the qualities of good conduct and behaviour. Afterwards when Kālī wanted to perform a penance she was forbidden [i.e., Ծṣi] by her mother who said—“O, no (Umā). Hence O sage, the sweetfaced lady came to be called Umā in the world. [...]�.

The Purana (पुरा�, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.

Otherwise initiation should not be given to him (as) he (would not achieve) success (Ծṣi) in the Kula teachings. If the teacher imparts (initiation) by his power out of compassion for the disciple, even then (the disciple) should (continue to) behave as a servant in the teacher’s spiritual family. [...]�.

Shakta (शाक्�, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.

If hunting is to be altogether prohibited (Ծṣi), how can meat, skin, horn and other articles prescribed for sacrifices be obtained? [...]�.

Śaṃkara also holds the purpose of the Bhagavadgītā to be the attainment of liberation, quickly declaring knowledge of the self, preceded by renunciation of all actions to be its means. The performance of disinterested actions, i.e. actions performed after renouncing its fruits (Ծṣk峾첹), is combined with the forsaking of both those Vedic rituals that are performed solely out of desire for some personal gain (峾ⲹ첹) and those that are forbidden in the Vedas (Ծṣi-karma).

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).
