Sanskrit words for list


During meditation, the brain spends a lot of time going through its lists – often, the to-do lists – as it orients toward the purusharthas:
  • duty or dharma
  • sensual delight and fun, kama
  • creating wealth, artha
  • union with God or liberation, moksha.
Here is a list of “list-related” words. But I don’t see anything that looks good for “my to-do list”
