In Hinduism
Kavya (poetry)
: archive.org: Naisadhacarita of Sriharsaṃpñٲ (संप्रज्ञात) refers to a kind of Yogic meditation or Samādhi, and is mentioned in the Naiṣadha-carita 21.119.—In ṃpñٲ, the object of meditation remains distinct, though the mind is absorbed in its contemplation; as opposed to the Asaṃprajñāta variety, in which the distinction between knowledge and its object is completely obliterated. Cf. Śrīharṣa and Nārāyaṇa. The ṃpñٲ-Samādhi is called Samāpatti in the Yogasūtras, and known also as Savikalpa-Samādhi. Cf. Vācaspati in his commentary on Pātañjala-bhāṣya (Samādhipāda).
The various modes of ṃpñٲ- are described in the Yogasūtras (Samādhipāda). Śivopādhyāya in his commentary on Vijñānabhairava refers to another classification ([...]). The ṃpñٲ- is referred to as �īᲹDz� by Māgha 4.55.

Kavya (काव्�, kavya) refers to Sanskrit poetry, a popular ancient Indian tradition of literature. There have been many Sanskrit poets over the ages, hailing from ancient India and beyond. This topic includes mahakavya, or ‘epic poetry� and natya, or ‘dramatic poetry�.
Yoga (school of philosophy)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch1) ṃpñٲ (संप्रज्ञात) or ṃpñٲsamādhi refers to “Samādhi with an object of focus�.—In later yoga compendiums which integrated medieval yoga traditions with Pātañjalayoga, laya was equated with ṃpñٲ (i.e., Samādhi with an object of focus). For example, Śivānanda’s Yogacintāmaṇi states: “Rājayoga is, indeed, seedless Samādhi and Layayoga is ñٲ [Samādhi]�.
2) ṃpñٲ (संप्रज्ञात) refers to “discursive cognition� (as opposed to Asaṃprajñāta), according to Rājānaka Alaka’s commentary on the 9th-century Haravijaya by Rājānaka Ratnākara.—Accordingly, “[This] state (岹ś) of yoga is without discursive cognition (ṃpñٲ), that is, without the activity of the mind whose nature is discursive thought. [That is to say, it is] without mind�.

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).
