This glossary serves as a reference for Sanskrit and Vedic-inspired terms, along with unique concepts created for the Sadhana Verse.

It is optional to read before the story begins. The chapters can be enjoyed on their own, but if you ever find a word unfamiliar, you can return here.

The glossary will expand and update as the series continues. Use it as a guide to deepen your immersion into the world of Records of Immortality.

To avoid spoilers, terms will be added after they appear in the story.

Sadhana: The Artful Rebellion. It is the deliberate, systematic, and perilous path a mortal undertakes to ascend beyond their appointed station. To practice Sadhana is to declare war upon the very constitution of the mundane world—a defiance of the natural laws that decree decay, limitation, and a final, silent end. It is not mere prayer or ritual but a total alchemy of the soul, a forging of the will into a key meant to unlock gates never intended to be found. Its aim is singular and audacious: the attainment of Amartva—a state of immortality, not merely of the body, but of an awakened consciousness liberated from the wheel of cause and effect.

Sadhaka: The Aspirant. This is the being who has chosen to become the author of their own apotheosis. A Sadhaka is one who has heard the silent call of a higher potential and has stepped onto the path of Sadhana, knowing it admits no return. They are a living contradiction: a creature of flesh and blood engaged in the work of unmaking their own mortality. The title implies not a passive believer, but an active experimenter, a warrior whose battleground is their own inner cosmos. They are the architect and the construction site, the seeker and the path itself. Their life becomes a single-minded endeavor, a sustained act of will against the gravity of nature, striving to transform the base lead of mortal existence into the gold of the eternal.

Arishadvarga: The Six Enemies of the Mind (traditional concept). But, in my verse, it is called the Seven Enemies of the Mind.

The Seven Enemies of the Mind:

1. Kama—Lust/Desire
2. Krodha—Wrath/Anger
3. Lobha—Greed
4. Moha – Delusion (But here it symbolizes gluttony.)
5. Mada—Pride/Arrogance
6. Matsarya—Envy/Jealousy
7. Alasya—Sloth/Laziness

Anupamah Siddhi—unique supernatural powers (Anupamah = unique, Siddhi = supernatural abilities)
