In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita SastraʲⲹٳԲ (पर्यवस्थान, “entanglements�).—The Bodhisattvas (accompanying the Buddha at Ჹṛh on the ṛdūṭa貹ٲ) excelled in destroying various the ten manifestly active defilements (貹ⲹٳԲ) according to Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra chapter 13.
There are ten manifestly active defilements (貹ⲹٳԲ):
- anger (krodha),
- hypocrisy (ṣa),
- lethargy (ٲԲ),
- languor (middha),
- regret (첹ܰṛtⲹ),
- agitation (auddhatya),
- shamelessness (īⲹ),
- non-embarrassment (Բ貹ٰⲹ),
- avarice (ٲⲹ),
- envy, (īṣy).
Moreover, because they fetter the mind, all the afflictions are called manifestly active defilements (貹ⲹٳԲ).
: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāʲⲹٳԲ (पर्यवस्थान) refers to “being occupied (with particular views)�, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “[Bringing all beings to maturity (ٱ-貹峦Բ)] [...] Again he thinks: ‘what is called ‘living being� is a misunderstanding. Because of being occupied (貹ⲹٳԲ) with the view of cause, ignorance, existence, thirst, and unreal mental constructions, it is called ‘living being�. However, the Bodhisattva still teaches the dharma to living beings in order to get rid of vices which originate from misunderstanding, and he does not forget substances. Since he is devoid of a living being, and detached from a living being, he brings living beings to maturity. Thus the Bodhisattva brings living beings to maturity by the original purity�.

Mahayana (महायान, mahāyāna) 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 ūٰ of which some of the earliest are the various Prajñāpāramitā ūٰ.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम� (ṃsṛt), 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.
