Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Accordingly as BrahmÄ narrated to NÄrada:—“[...] On hearing these words of mine—of BrahmÄ—in the presence of Viṣṇu, Åšiva, the lord of worlds spoke to me with his face beaming with a smile: [...] Sometimes I will be thinking about Åšiva, my own form of splendour, the eternal principle which the scholars [viz., the ²Ñ²¹²Ôīṣi²Ô] well versed in the Vedas [viz., vedavid] call Imperishable. When I go in trance, O BrahmÄ, in that meditation, damned be she who causes an impediment thereinâ€�.
2) ²Ñ²¹²Ôīṣi²Ô (मनीषिनà¥) refers to “learned sagesâ€�, according to the ÅšivapurÄṇa 2.2.43.—Accordingly, as BrahmÄ narrated to NÄrada:—“[...] the greatness of Åšiva is endless and inscrutable even to the learned sages (i.e., ²Ñ²¹²Ôīṣi²Ô). It is known to the devotees without difficulty, thanks to good devotion and his favour. There is no emotion or aberration at all in Åšiva the supreme Being. He points out to the people of the world by his different actions, their respective goalsâ€�.

The Purana (पà¥à¤°à¤¾à¤�, purÄṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
Yoga (school of philosophy)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch²Ñ²¹²Ôīṣi²Ô (मनीषिनà¥) refers to “wise menâ€�, according to the ÅšivayogadÄ«pikÄ by SadÄÅ›ivayogīśvara: a text dealing with Åšaivism and Haá¹hayoga in two hundred and eighty-nine verses.—Accordingly, while discussing the difference between RÄjayoga and Åšaivayoga: “Truly, Åšiva’s yoga is not identical to RÄjayoga. [This] is so said by worshippers (arcin) of Åšiva [and] it is apparent to the [higher faculty of] discernment. The difference between the two is taught to those devoted to Åšiva. Therefore, the yoga of Åšiva is understood only by [those] wise men (³¾²¹²Ôīṣi²Ô). [...]â€�.

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 Äsanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).

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.

Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
