These were prescribed to a sage at the forest dwelling (ś) stage of life.

Yoga is originally considered a branch of Hindu philosophy (astika), but both ancient and modern Yoga combine the physical, mental and spiritual. Yoga teaches various physical techniques also known as āsanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).

Bhagavān replies that there are two kinds of Yoga�karmayoga and ñԲyoga. [...] A devotee may achieve liberation by either method [...] however, in the case of karmayoga it is to be noted that the eight steps are especially defined� Yama involves ten practices: [e.g., Ჹ].

Vedanta (school of philosophy)
: Wikisource: Ashtavakra GitaĀᲹ (आर्ज�) refers to “sincerity� (which is to be practiced for one desiring Mukti—liberation), according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “If you are seeking liberation, my son, shun the objects of the senses like poison. Practise tolerance, sincerity (Ჹ), compassion, contentment and truthfulness like nectar [kṣamᲹdayātoṣasatya� pīyūṣavadbhaja]. You are neither earth, water, fire, air or even ether. For liberation know yourself as consisting of consciousness, the witness of these. If only you will remain resting in consciousness, seeing yourself as distinct from the body, then even now you will become happy, peaceful and free from bonds. [...]�.

Vedanta (वेदान्�, vedānta) refers to a school of orthodox Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. There are a number of sub-schools of Vedanta, however all of them expound on the basic teaching of the ultimate reality (brahman) and liberation (moksha) of the individual soul (atman).
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: TrisastisalakapurusacaritraĀᲹ (आर्ज�, “sincerity�) refers to one of the ten-fold dharma (i.e., Yatidharma) capable of leading across ṃs, according to chapter 3.3 [ܳپٳ-ٰ] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.
Accordingly, as Sumatinātha said:—“The sources of pride—youth, power, beauty, etc.—have become subdued from penance, like evil spirits of a sorceror reduced to servitude from the power to summon them. Yatidharma, handed down orally by the Blessed Ones, is the best boat without impediments for crossing the ocean of ṃs. [...] Sincerity (Ჹ) is straightness in speech, mind and body from overcoming deceit. [...] So the ten-fold dharma, like a spotless wishing-jewel, capable of leading across ṃs, is attained in the world by merit�.
: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsĀᲹ (आर्ज�) refers to “straightforwardness� (towards deception), according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Tolerance of anger and humility towards pride, moreover straightforwardness (Ჹ) towards deception [and] abandonment of attachment, these are the enemies of desire respectively. Yogis continually drive away desire and dislike through equanimity or through the state of non-attachment , and they drive away wrong faith through the application of right faith�.
Synonyms: Māyābhāva.

Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
