īٲṛṣṇa (वीततृष्ण) refers to “those who are free of passion�, according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “[...] Wherever a desire occurs, see ṃs in it. Establishing yourself in firm dispassion, be free of passion (īٲṛṣṇa) and happy [prauḍhavairāgyamāśritya īٲṛṣṇa� sukhī bhava]. The essential nature of bondage is nothing other than desire, and its elimination is known as liberation. It is simply by not being attached to changing things that the everlasting joy of attainment is reached. [...]�.
