[«𱹾dzܲ Ա»] � Piyushavat in Vedanta glossary
: Wikisource: Ashtavakra Gita

īūṣa (पीयूषवत्) refers to “that which is like nectar� (referring to qualities such as truthfulness, etc.), according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “If you are seeking liberation, my son, shun the objects of the senses like poison. Practise tolerance, sincerity, compassion, contentment and truthfulness like nectar (īūṣa) [kṣamārjavadayātoṣasatya� pīyūṣavadbhaja]. You are neither earth, water, fire, air or even ether. For liberation know yourself as consisting of consciousness, the witness of these. If only you will remain resting in consciousness, seeing yourself as distinct from the body, then even now you will become happy, peaceful and free from bonds. [...]�.
