Sports, Arts and Entertainment (wordly enjoyments)
: archive.org: Syainika Sastra of Rudradeva with English Translation (art)Manaskarman (啶え啶膏啶曕ぐ啷嵿ぎ啶ㄠ) refers to the 鈥渁ctions of the mind鈥�, according to the 艢测补颈苍颈办补-艣腻蝉迟谤补: a Sanskrit treatise dealing with the divisions and benefits of Hunting and Hawking, written by R膩j膩 Rudradeva (or Candradeva) in possibly the 13th century.鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥淸...] The avoidance of all sorts of activities leads only to the liberation of the soul. But the performance of the duties prescribed for one鈥檚 own caste, leads to the attainment of the three other objects of life. That sort of avoidance, however, should be practised with respect to speech and the actions of the body and the mind (manaskarman) [sidhyeta manov膩kk膩yakarmabhi岣�], which leads to Brahma beyond the reach of speech. [...]鈥�.
This section covers the skills and profiencies of the Kalas (鈥減erforming arts鈥�) and Shastras (鈥渟ciences鈥�) involving ancient Indian traditions of sports, games, arts, entertainment, love-making and other means of wordly enjoyments.

In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita Sastra1) Manaskarman (啶え啶膏啶曕ぐ啷嵿ぎ) or Manaskarmapatha refers to the 鈥減aths of mental action鈥�, according to the 2nd century Mah膩praj帽膩p膩ramit膩艣膩stra (chapter XIV).鈥擳he paths of mental action (manaskarma-patha) are three in number: abstaining from envy (补产丑颈诲丑测腻), spitefulness (惫测腻辫腻诲补) and wrong views (尘颈迟丑测腻诲峁涐梗峁璱). It can also be spelled as manaskarma.
2) Manakarman (啶え啶曕ぐ啷嵿ぎ啶ㄠ) refers to 鈥渕ental action鈥�, according to Mah膩praj帽膩p膩ramit膩艣膩stra (chapter 41).鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥淸The eighteen 腻惫别峁噄办补-诲丑补谤尘补蝉 (鈥榮pecial attributes鈥�)]鈥� [...] (8). The Buddha has no loss of exertion.鈥擧e has no loss of exertion.鈥擲ee what has been said about loss of zeal: zeal (chanda) is synonymous with exertion (惫墨谤测补). [Question].鈥擨f that is so, the special attributes are no longer eighteen in number [but just seventeen]. Furthermore, in the list of mental events, a distinction is made between zeal and exertion. Then why do you say that zeal is confused with exertion? [Answer].鈥擹eal is the action taken at the beginning and, when zeal is developed, it has the name of exertion. This is what the Buddha said: 鈥楢ll dharmas have zeal as their root鈥�. Zeal is like a thirsty man who wants to find something to drink; exertion is like the means (耻辫腻测补) used to seek something to drink. Zeal is mind (citta), desire to find: exertion serves to realize the thing. Zeal comes from a mental action (manakarman); exertion comes from three actions: [mental action, vocal action and physical action]. Zeal is internal; exertion is external. These are the resemblances and the differences鈥�.

What we called 鈥榮a峁僩ha鈥� is unconditioned, and it cannot to be recollected in the perspective of conditioning. Where there is no involvement with the actions of body, speech or mind (manaskarma), it is called unconditioned. Thus what we called 鈥榗onditioned鈥� is a mere denomination and convention. The unconditioned is the destruction of all denominations, and the transcendence of all conventions. This is, son of good family, the recollection of the congregation, authorized by the Lord鈥�.
Mahayana (啶す啶距く啶距え, mah膩y膩na) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many 蝉奴迟谤补蝉 of which some of the earliest are the various Praj帽膩p膩ramit膩 蝉奴迟谤补蝉.
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve Reflections惭补苍补岣补谤尘补n (啶え啶冟啶班啶え啷�) refers to the 鈥渁ction of mind鈥�, according to the 11th century J帽膩n膩r峁嘺va, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by 艢ubhacandra.鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥淚t is declared, 鈥楢ctivity is the action of mind, body and speech (尘补苍补岣补谤尘补苍鈥�manastanuvaca岣arma yoga ity)鈥�. It is said by those who are learned in the knowledge of reality, 鈥業ndeed, that is the cause of the influx of karma鈥�. As a boat in the middle of the ocean takes in water through holes, so a living soul takes in karma through holes of activity which are good and bad鈥�.
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, 鈥榮elf-reliance鈥�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
