Question

Either an original language term or English translation or description is acceptable. The Atharvaveda’s Surya Upanishad claims its repetition is useful in “winning” these concepts. Vidura debates which of these concepts is the most important with the Pandavas in the Shanti Parva section of the Mahābhārata. Practicing nishkama karma is one approach to resolve the tension between two of these concepts described as pravritti and one described as nivritti. The Bhagavata Purana suggests that (*) bhakti is the fifth (-5[1])of these concepts. Each of these concepts is associated with an ashrama, or stage of life, with one of those stages, sannyasa, devoted entirely to the final one of these concepts. (10[1])The trivarga were the first three of these concepts to be delineated and consist of dharma, artha, and kama. For 10 points, name these concepts in Hinduism that include righteous living, wealth, pleasure, and the ultimate one, moksha. (10[1])■END■ (10[1])
