: Wikisource: Ashtavakra Gita狈颈峁峁泃测补 (啶ㄠた啶粪啶曕啶む啶�) refers to the 鈥渟evering鈥� (the erroneous identification of the real self), according to the A峁ａ弓膩vakrag墨t膩 (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Ved膩nta topics.鈥擜ccordingly, [as A峁ａ弓avakra says to Janaka]: 鈥淸...] 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. [...] Meditate on yourself as motionless awareness, free from any dualism, giving up the mistaken idea that you are just a derivative consciousness, or anything external or internal. You have long been trapped in the snare of identification with the body. Sever (苍颈峁峁泃测补) it with the knife of knowledge that 'I am awareness', and be happy, my son [bodho'ha峁� j帽膩nakha岣峠ena tan苍颈峁峁泃测补 sukh墨 bhava]. [...] 鈥�.
