In Hinduism

Vedanta (school of philosophy)

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

ṃv岹Գī (किंवदन्ती) refers to a “saying� (i.e., a maxim or a rumour), according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “[...] You are the one witness of everything, and are always totally free. The cause of your bondage is that you see the witness as something other than this. [...] That in which all this appears—imagined like the snake in a rope, that joy, supreme joy and awareness is what you are, so be happy. If one thinks of oneself as free, one is free, and if one thinks of oneself as bound, one is bound. Here this saying (쾱ṃv岹Գī) is true, ‘Thinking makes it so� [쾱ṃv岹Գīha satyeya� yā mati� sā gatirbhavet]. [...]�.
