Nirvana - निर्वाण - နိဗ္ဗာန် - නිවන

Nirvāṇa (Sanskrit: निर्वाण; Pali: निब्बान nibbāna ; Prakrit: णिव्वाण) literally means "blown out", as in a candle. It is most commonly associated with Buddhism. In Indian religions, the attainment of nirvana is moksha,liberation from the repeating cycle of birth, life and death (reincarnation).
