Of expressions for philosophical doctrines we find only *Upanishad*, *Ádeśa*, *Guhya Ádeśa* (the keeping secret of doctrine is repeatedly and urgently inculcated), *Upákhyána* (explanation). The teacher is called *áchárya* [as he is also in the Śat. Br.]; for "inhabited place," *ardha* is used; single *ślokas* and *gáthás* are very often quoted.
