: Wikisource: Ashtavakra GitaԳٲٲ (स्वान्तवात) refers to “one’s own inner wind�, according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Janaka says to Aṣṭavakra]: “It is in the infinite ocean of myself that the world bark wanders here and there, driven by its own inner wind (Գٲٲ). I am not upset by that [bhramati svāntavātena na mamāstyasahiṣṇutā]. Let the world wave rise or vanish of its own nature in the infinite ocean of myself. There is no increase or diminution to me from it. [...]�
