1) վ첹 (विवेकत�) refers to “discrimination� (which is of no concern to a Yogī), according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “[...] There is no religion, wealth, sensuality or discrimination () [kva dharma� kva ca vā kāma� kva cārtha� kva 첹] for a Yogī free from the pairs of opposites such as ‘I have done this� and ‘I have not done that�. There is nothing needing to be done, or any attachment in his heart for the Yogī liberated while still alive. Things are just for a life-time. [...]�.

2) վ첹 (विवेकत�) refers to “philosophy� (which does not affect a true Yogī).—Accordingly, [as Janaka says to Aṣṭavakra]: “Using the tweezers of the knowledge of the truth I have managed to extract the painful thorn of endless opinions from the recesses of my heart. For me, established in my own glory, there is no religion, sensuality, possessions, philosophy (), duality or even non-duality. [...]�.
