Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
: archive.org: Puranic Encyclopediaṛtī (तृतीया).—A river. This river sat in the court of Varuṇa worshipping him. (Śloka 21, Chapter 9, Sabh Parva).
: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation1) ṛtīⲹ (तृती�) refers to the “third day of a fortnight�, according to the Śivapurṇa 2.2.15. Accordingly as Brahm narrated to Nrada:—“[...] Firmly resolved in her desire to secure Śiva as her husband, she (viz., Devī as Satī) propitiated him in her own house with the permission of her mother. [...] After worshipping Him with cooked barley and gingelly seeds on the third day (ṛtīⲹ) of the bright half of Mgha (January-February), she spent the month on the products of milk obtained from a cow�.
2) ṛtīⲹ (तृती�) refers to the “third� (eye), according to the Śivapurṇa 2.3.19 (“Kma’s destruction by Śiva�).—Accordingly, as Brahm narrated to Narad: “[...] O great sage, when his endeavour became futile, Kma who was frightened much remembered Indra and all other gods. O great sage, remembered by Kma, Indra and other gods came there, bowed to and eulogised Śiva. When the gods eulogised thus, a great flame of fire sprang up from the third [i.e., ṛtīⲹ] eye of the infuriated Śiva. [...�.

The Purana (पुरा�, purṇas) 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.
Kavya (poetry)
: archive.org: Naisadhacarita of Sriharsaṛtī (तृतीया) refers to a “eunuch�, and is mentioned in the Naiṣadha-carita 17.70.—The Kmasūtra 2.9 divides eunuchs (ṛtī) into male and female. Cf. Vararuci’s Ubhabhisarik. The eunuch is here described in two elaborate verses. The eunuchs played quite an important part in the sexual life of former times. Haradatta on Gautamasūtra 2.6.15 makes a distinction between Kliba and ṛtīprakṛti. Cf. Alaka in his commentary on Haravijaya 27.79.

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�.
Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)
: Pure Bhakti: Arcana-dipika - 3rd Editionṛtī (तृतीया) refers to one of the various “lunar days� (tithi):—There are approximately 29.5 lunar days in a lunar month. The first fifteen days begin with the first phase of the waxing moon (pratipat) and end with the full moon (ūṇi). [...] In accordance with the lunar day, one would utter, [for example, ṛtī-tithau].

Vaishnava (वैष्णव, vaiṣṇava) or vaishnavism (vaiṣṇavism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshipping Vishnu as the supreme Lord. Similar to the Shaktism and Shaivism traditions, Vaishnavism also developed as an individual movement, famous for its exposition of the dashavatara (‘ten avatars of Vishnu�).
Pancaratra (worship of Nryaṇa)
: University of Vienna: Sudarśana's Worship at the Royal Court According to the Ahirbudhnyasaṃhitṛtī (तृतीया) refers to the “third� (level of Kriśakti—‘creative energy�), according to the Ahirbudhnyasaṃhit, belonging to the Pñcartra tradition which deals with theology, rituals, iconography, narrative mythology and others.—Accordingly, “A ruler who is a Universal Sovereign is entitled to the first, a Provincial Governor to the second and a District Governor to the third (ṛtī) [level of] Creative Energy. [To the same are entitled] a chief minister or a twice-born, provided he is in charge of the protection of many people. No single man is entitled to [deploy] Her for [just] another man�.

Pancaratra (पाञ्चरात्र, pñcartra) represents a tradition of Hinduism where Narayana is revered and worshipped. Closeley related to Vaishnavism, the Pancaratra literature includes various Agamas and tantras incorporating many Vaishnava philosophies.
Yoga (school of philosophy)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birchṛtīⲹ (तृती�) refers to the “third (year)� (of Yogic breathing exercises), according to the Śivayogadīpik, an ancient Sanskrit text dealing with Yoga possibly corresponding to the Śivayoga quoted in Śivnanda’s Yogacintmaṇi.—Accordingly, [while describing a sequence of Haṭhayoga practices]: “Thus, by means of this Haṭhayoga which has eight auxiliaries, those [students who are] life-long celibates obtain the Siddhis of the [best of Sages] because of their untiring practice. [...] Then, in the third (ṛtīⲹ) year, he is not hurt by noxious [animals] such as snakes. In the fourth year, he is free from [any] torment, thirst, sleep, cold and heat. [...�.

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 sanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).
Ayurveda (science of life)
Veterinary Medicine (The study and treatment of Animals)
: archive.org: The Elephant Lore of the Hindus1) ṛtīⲹ (तृती�) refers to the “third year� (of an elephant), according to the 15th century ٲṅgī composed by Nīlakaṇṭha in 263 Sanskrit verses, dealing with elephantology in ancient India, focusing on the science of management and treatment of elephants.—[Cf. chapter 5, “on marks of the stages of life”]: �4. With clearly developed nails, vidu, joints, ears, and sheaths and covering of the tusks; spotted on the breast, and on the lobes of the ears; hairy in the ears and on the head, with uplifted head, eating grass, with rather stout (firm) rows of teeth, in the third year (ṛtīⲹ) he is an upasarpa�.
2) ṛtīⲹ (तृती�) can also refer to the “third (stage)� (of an elephants� life), according to the 15th century ٲṅgī.—�13. His ears, tongue, haunches, and other parts are symmetrical according to whatever his size may be; the smell of must arises in him; endowed with all fine qualities, a hard fighter, with smooth hair and skin, with intoxicated eyes, handsome, showing striking development of the temporal bone, intelligent wrathful, a killer, evenly balanced in the bodily humors, he is a javana (‘swift one�) and has attained the third stage (ṛtīⲹ) [sa eva javano tasṛtī� daśm�.

Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of Āyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
Gitashastra (science of music)
: Shodhganga: Kohala in the Sanskrit textual tradition (gita)ṛtīⲹ (तृती�) refers to one of the Vedic Svaras which is mapped to the Gndhra-svara (of the Laukika type), according to the Kohalamatam, one of the works ascribed to Kohala—a celebrated authority of the ancient period along with others such as Bharata, Yṣṭika, Śrdūla, Kśyapa etc.—Kohalamatam has dealt with the aspect of svara in great detail. It also refers to the Vedic origin of svaras. The list of Laukikasvaras (=seven notes) has been mapped with corresponding Vaidikasvaras (=Vedic svaras)—For example, the Vedic ṛtīⲹ-svara has been mapped to the Gndhra-svara (of the Laukika type). Note: The ī-śṣ� presents a very different scheme. Here the Vedic ṛtīⲹ-svara is mapped to the Ṛṣabha-svara (of the Laukika type). Moreover, the ī-śṣ� presents the notes in the order of the 峾 scale viz.�ma, ga, ri, sa, dha, ni, pa—whereas in Kohalamatam we find a straight delineation of the svaras.
Gitashastra (गीतशास्त्र, īٲśٰ) refers to the ancient Indian science of Music (gita or samgita), which is traditionally divided in Vocal music, Instrumental music and Dance (under the jurisdiction of music). The different elements and technical terms are explained in a wide range of (often Sanskrit) literature.
