what are the terms for enlightenment for both hinduism and buddhism

we are kinda working on the same thing Enlightenment refers to the "full comprehension of a situation". It is commonly used to denote the Age of Enlightenment,but is also used in Western cultures in a religious context. It translates several Buddhist terms and concepts, most notably bodhi, kensho and satori. Related terms from Asian religions are moksha (liberation) in Hinduism, Kevala Jnana in Jainism and ushta in Zoroastrianism. In Christianity, the word "enlightenment" is rarely used, except to refer to the Age of Enlightenment and its influence on Christianity. Equivalent terms may be revelation, metanoia and conversion. The English term "enlightenment" has commonly been used to translate several Sanskrit, Pali[web 2] Chinese and Japanese terms and concepts, especially bodhi, prajna, kensho, satori and buddhahood. In Indian religions moksha or mukti is the final extrication of the soul or consciousness (purusha) from samsara and the bringing to an end of all the suffering involved in being subject to the cycle of repeated death and rebirth.
