Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammarAbhyasta (啶呧き啷嵿く啶膏啶�).鈥擱epeated, redoubled word or wording or part of a word. The term 啶呧き啷嵿く啶膏啶� (abhyasta) is applied to the whole doubled expression in 笔腻峁噄苍颈's grammar, cf. 啶夃き啷� 啶呧き啷嵿く啶膏啶むぎ啷� (ubhe abhyastam) P. VI.1.6; (2) the six roots with 啶溹啷嵿し啷� (箩补办峁�) placed at the head viz. 啶溹啷嵿し啷�, 啶溹ぞ啶椸, 啶︵ぐ啶苦う啷嵿ぐ啶�, 啶氞啶距じ啷�, 啶多ぞ啶膏, 啶︵啶о (箩补办峁�, 箩腻驳峁�, 诲补谤颈诲谤腻, 肠补办腻蝉, 艣腻蝉, 诲墨诲丑墨) and 啶掂啶掂 (惫别惫墨) which in fact are reduplicated forms of 啶樴じ啷�, 啶椸, 啶︵啶班ぞ, 啶曕ぞ啶膏, 啶多じ啷�, 啶о (ghas, 驳峁�, 诲谤腻, 办腻蝉, 艣补蝉, 诲丑墨) and 啶掂 (惫墨).
Vyakarana (啶掂啶ぞ啶曕ぐ啶�, vy膩kara峁嘺) refers to Sanskrit grammar and represents one of the six additional sciences (vedanga) to be studied along with the Vedas. Vyakarana concerns itself with the rules of Sanskrit grammar and linguistic analysis in order to establish the correct context of words and sentences.
Yoga (school of philosophy)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchAbhyasta (啶呧き啷嵿く啶膏啶�) refers to 鈥渉aving practised鈥� (yoga/meditation), according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.鈥擜ccordingly, as 莫艣vara says to V膩madeva: 鈥淸...] What is to be gained by [manipulating] the vital winds, [even when] practised (abhyasta) for a long time? [What gained] by the hundreds of [ways] of holding the breath, which cause sickness and are arduous, and by the many Mu诲谤腻s, which are painful and difficult to master? You [should] serve continually the one and only guru to obtain that [no-mind state] whose nature is innate, on the arising of which, the breath, mighty [though it is], instantly disappears by itself. [...]鈥�.
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 膩sanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).
Sports, Arts and Entertainment (wordly enjoyments)
: archive.org: Syainika Sastra of Rudradeva with English Translation (art)Abhyasta (啶呧き啷嵿く啶膏啶�) refers to 鈥減ractised (in hunting)鈥� (as opposed to Anabhyasta鈥斺�渦npractised Hawks鈥�), according to the 艢yainika-艣腻蝉tra: 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, [while discussing the treatment of hawks]: 鈥淎n expert tamer of these birds should teach them how to fall upon a quarry, fastened by a string, and thus revive their old instincts. Those hawks, which have been taken from the nests, should be first tamed by being kept tied after their capture, and as they are unpractised (anabhyasta) in hunting, they should be taught in a variety of ways by an expert trainer of birds, by gradually increasing their skill and cleverness. [...]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. Traditionally these topics were dealt with in Sanskrit treatises explaing the philosophy and the justification of enjoying the pleasures of the senses.

5) (In Grammar.) Reduplicated (but see abhyasta neuter); e. g. 驰腻蝉办补: erira it墨rtirupas峁涐梗峁璷bhyasta岣�; or rariv膩n . r膩tirabhyasta岣�.—驰腻蝉办补 in using abhyasta as a masc. and therefore, with the ellipsis of 诲丑腻迟耻 (q. v.) differs from 笔腻峁噄苍颈 who uses the word merely as a neuter; and in applying it to a radical like 墨谤, differs from 碍腻迟测腻测补苍补 and Patanjali, probably also from 笔腻峁噄苍颈; see the following. 2. n.
(-stam) (In 笔腻峁噄苍颈); scil. 补峁単补 q. v. The reduplicated base of a radical, in general, in the preterite (濒颈峁�), the aorist (肠补峁�), the desider. (san) and the intens. (测补峁�) —comp. Vi. 1. 8. 9. 11.—, moreover the reduplicated base of a radical of the third class (hu &c. Vi. 1. 10.) and the base (being in reality a reduplicated one) of 箩补办峁�, 箩腻驳峁�, 诲补谤颈诲谤腻, 肠补办腻蝉, 诲墨诲丑墨, 惫别惫墨 and 艣腻蝉 (to which 碍腻迟测腻测. adds, though not with the consent of Patanj. and Kaiyy.: sas and 惫补艣 Vi. 1. 6 and vv.), before a s膩rva诲丑腻迟耻ka, as well as the reduplicated base of a radical of the named categories in the participles (included in the foregoing terms) and in such derivatives as babhru, yayu, cakra, ciklida &c. (Vi. 1. 12 vv). The term abhyasta n. comprises therefore, in 笔腻峁噄苍颈, the radical syllable and the syllable of reduplication (which latter is called by him 补产丑测腻蝉补; Vi. 1. 5.: ubhe abhyastam; Vi. 1. 4.: 辫奴谤惫辞产丑测腻蝉补岣�); e. g. 诲补诲腻—, and nenij—of 诲补诲腻ti and nenijati are abhyastam (da—and ne—being in these words the 补产丑测腻蝉补). 碍腻迟测腻测补苍补 and Patanjali conclude from this definition of 笔腻峁噄苍颈 that the term can only be used where there are two syllables representing the reduplication and that it is not applicable to the first syllable in instances like 墨谤迟蝉补苍迟颈 (the desid. of 峁沝丑) or 墨辫蝉补苍迟颈 (the desid. of 腻辫) (碍腻迟测.: ubhegraha峁嘺峁� sa峁僯帽inirde艣膩rtham; Pat.: antare峁嚹灞鑩ubhegraha峁嘺峁� prak峁泃a岣� sa峁僯帽inirde艣a岣� . katha峁� dve iti vartate . ida峁� tarhi prayojanam; 碍腻迟测.: yatrobhe 艣abdasvar奴pe 艣r奴yete tatr膩bhyastasa峁僯帽膩 yath膩 sy膩t; Pat.: iha m膩 bh奴t . 墨谤迟蝉补苍迟颈 墨psant墨ti . 墨rtsan . 墨psan . airtsan . aipsan). [The learned Pa峁囜笉its who partly complied and partly composed the comm. of the present ed. of 笔腻峁�. have been mistaken, consequently, when they supply at the term abhyasta the word 诲丑腻迟耻, instead of 补峁単补, in their gloss on Vi. 1. 189. (鈥�abhyastasa峁僯帽ak膩n膩峁� dh膩t奴n膩m &c.鈥� instead of 鈥峁単腻苍腻尘); for such an ellipsis would unduly restrict the bearing of the rule and be at variance not merely with the process of reduplication as conceived by 笔腻峁噄苍颈 (I. 1. 59.), but with the neuter gender of the term. 笔腻峁噄苍颈, it is true, calls the seven quoted radicals 箩补办峁� &c. 鈥榓产丑测补蝉迟补鈥� (whence Patanjali speaks of sapta 箩补办峁ty膩dayobhyastasa峁僯帽ak膩岣�—scil. 诲丑腻迟补惫补岣�—, and the 碍腻艣. comments 箩补办峁 ityaya峁� 诲丑腻迟耻rity膩daya艣c膩nye 峁岣� dh膩tavobhyastasa峁僯帽ak膩 bhavanti, which is a much clearer paraphrase of the 痴腻谤迟迟. and 叠丑腻峁补, than the modern gloss which renders 峁峁� of the S奴tra simply with saptan), but, not to speak of the exceptional nature of these radicals which are not of a primitive kind, is is obvious that 笔腻峁噄苍颈, in connecting the neuter abhyastam (of the preceding S奴tra) with the word 箩补办峁ty膩daya岣� (of the following), did not mean the 诲丑腻迟耻, but the 补峁単补 of these radicals, especially as he treats of the rules concerning the abhyasta, in the chapter on 补峁単补 (Vi. 4. 1. to the end of the seventh book). The same inaccuracy of supplying the word 诲丑腻迟耻, instead of 补峁単补, has been frequently committed by the same Pa峁囜笉its in the last named chapter (e. g. Vii. 4. 69. 73. 84. 85. 86. 87. 88. 89. 90. 91. 92. 96. 97. &c. &c. where the 碍腻艣颈办腻 either omits the word supplied or has 补峁単补), but even 闯补测腻诲颈迟测补 himself has nodded, though rarely.—One S奴tra may, indeed, lead to the assumption that 笔腻峁噄苍颈, too, speaks of a 诲丑腻迟耻 which is abhyasta, but merely apparently; Vi. 1. 32. he rules hva岣� sa峁僷ras膩ra峁嘺m 鈥榯here is 蝉补尘辫谤补蝉腻谤补峁嘺 of the radical hve鈥�; and Vi. 1. 33. he adds 鈥榓产丑测补蝉迟补蝉测补鈥�; this latter word, however, does not mean 鈥榳hen hve is abhyasta鈥�, but, acc. to 碍腻迟测. and Pat., when there is a reason for making 鈥榓 reduplicated base鈥� of hve (viz. in the desid., intens. &c.); for it is not this base (of two syllables) that suffers 蝉补尘辫谤补蝉腻谤补峁嘺, but the radical when it is not yet a reduplicated base; properly speaking abhyastanimitte would have been therefore a better S奴tra than abhyastasya; and, continues 碍腻迟测腻测., if 笔腻峁噄苍颈 meant to rule that a reduplicated base (abhyasta) suffers sampr., a prohibition was at least required for the syllable of reduplication (补产丑测腻蝉补) &c.: Patanj.: hvo bhyastasyetyucyate . na caitad hvobhyastam . kasya tarhi hv膩yayate岣� . hva etadabhyastam . katham . ek膩co dve prathamasyeti (Vi. 1. 1.) . eva峁� tarhi hvayaterabhyastasyetyucyate . na c膩tra hvayatirabhyastam . kastarhi . hv膩yayati岣� . hvayatirev膩tr膩bhyastam . katham . ek膩co dve prathamasyetyevamapi; ..

Sanskrit, also spelled 啶膏啶膏啶曕啶むぎ啷� (蝉补峁僺办峁泃补尘), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). 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.
