The term nirvana is part of an extensive metaphorical structure that was probably established at a very early age in Buddhism. It is "the most common term used by Buddhists to describe a state of freedom from suffering and rebirth," [13] but its etymology may not be conclusive for its meaning. [14]
Hence the original meaning of the word is "blown out, extinguished". (Sandhi changes the sounds: the v of vāna causes nis to become nir, and then the r of nir causes retroflexion of the following n: nis + vāna > nirvāṇa). [20] However the Buddhist meaning of nirvana also has other interpretations.
The words moksha, nirvana (nibbana) and kaivalya are sometimes used synonymously, [57] because they all refer to the state that liberates a person from all causes of sorrow and suffering. [ 58 ] [ 59 ] However, in modern era literature, these concepts have different premises in different religions. [ 10 ]
[8] [9] Nirvana refers to the moment of attainment itself, and the resulting peace of mind and happiness (khlesa-nirvana), but also to the final dissolution of the five skandhas at the time of death (skandha-nirvana or parinirvana); in the Theravada-tradition, it also refers to a transcendental reality which is "known at the moment of awakening".
Hinduism and Jainism also use the word nirvana to describe the state of moksha, and it is spoken of in several Hindu tantric texts as well as the Bhagavad Gita.
