in the texts
Bodhapañcadaśikā
The Lord's sovereign, unconditioned freedom, which accounts both for his power to manifest the impossible and for the phenomenon of non-recognition/bondage.
His power to accomplish what is utterly impossible (atidurghaṭakāritva (the power to bring about the utterly impossible)) is the Unsurpassed (anuttara (the Unsurpassed, the absolute)) itself — this very thing is his autonomy (svātantrya (absolute sovereign freedom)), his lordship (aiśvarya), the very nature of awareness (bodha (awareness, awakening;
here its absence, aparijñāna)) of this very [truth] is declared to be His [own] freedom (svātantrya (sovereign freedom));
For the Liberty of the Rhodians
Self-government and equal civic rights, applied both within cities and among Greek states.
Of private rights within a state, the laws of that state grant an equal and impartial share to all, weak and strong alike;
For with free men I do not think that you would have any difficulty in making peace whenever you wished, but with an oligarchical state I do not believe that even friendly relations could be permanent, for the few can never be well disposed to the many, nor those who covet power to those who have chosen a life of equal privileges.
Or from taking Selymbria, once an ally of yours, and making it tributary to themselves, and including it in the territory of Byzantium, contrary to all oaths and agreements which guarantee the autonomy of those cities?
Nāradasmṛti
The legal status determining whether a person's acts (including incurring debt) are valid; independence belongs to the king, teacher, and household head, while subjects, pupils, women, sons, and slaves are dependent.
One who has not reached the age of legal competence is not liable for debt, even if he is independent.
After that, he is knowledgeable in legal matters and is independent without his parents.
Even an act done by an independent person who is not in his natural state is also said to be not done, for he is dependent on that account.
