In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
: Shodhganga: Mantra-sādhana: Chapter One of the KakṣapuṭatantraĀԳٲ (आक्रन्�) refers to one of the eleven methods used with certain types of ٴDZⲹ (seven means) according to the 11th-century Netratantroddyota (v 18.10-12). According to the 10th-century Kakṣapuṭatantra verses 1.89-91, the method called ٴDZⲹ (seven means) should be performed when a mantra has had no effect. Among the ٴDZⲹ, the 屹ṇa, bodhana, ṣaⲹ, śṣaṇa, and 岹īⲹ use a īᲹ, and attach it to the mantra. Kṣemarājaʼs commentary on the Netratantra (the Netratantroddyota) verses 18.10-12 gives a detailed account of 11 methods to tie a īᲹ to a mantra (for example, ĀԳٲ).
: Shodhganga: Iconographical representations of ŚivaĀԳٲ (आक्रान्त) or Ākrāngama refers to one of ܱ岵 (supplementary scriptures) of the վ岵 which is one of the twenty-eight Գ岵: a classification of the Śaiva division of Ś岵. The Ś岵 represent the wisdom that has come down from lord Śiva, received by Pārvatī and accepted by Viṣṇu. The purpose of revealing ܱ岵 (e.g., ĀԳٲ Āgama) is to explain more elaborately than that of ū岵 (e.g., Vimala-āgama) and to include any new idea if not dealt in ū岵.
: SOAS University of London: Protective Rites in the Netra TantraĀԳٲ (आक्रान्त) refers to one of the eleven types of interlocking (the mantra and ritual practice [?]), according to the Netratantra of Kṣemarāja: a Śaiva text from the 9th century in which Śiva (Bhairava) teaches Pārvatī topics such as metaphysics, cosmology, and soteriology.—The Netratantra describes eleven types of interlocking in which the mantra (A) and the name of the person on whose behalf the rite is performed (峾), or the action or goal of the ritual (abhidheya, ⲹ) (B) follow particular patterns. [...] Though described in the text, the Netratantra’s rites do not call for the use of all eleven varieties [e.g., Գٲ].

Shaiva (शै�, śaiva) or Shaivism (śaivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationĀԳٲ (आक्रान्त) refers to �(one being) drawn (to worldly enjoyment)� [?], according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.24 (“Śiva consents to marry Pārvatī�).—Accordingly, as Śiva said to Viṣṇu: “[...] Anyone bound with nooses of iron and timber can secure release but one bound with nooses of women never frees oneself. Worldly enjoyment tightens the bondage. Salvation is inaccessible to a man drawn to worldly enjoyment [i.e., Գٲ�ṣaṃtԲ�] even in his dream. If he wishes for happiness, an intelligent man shall duly forsake all worldly pleasures. Worldly enjoyment that dooms persons is on a par with poison. [...]�.

The Purana (पुरा�, purāṇas) 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.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramĀԳٲ (आक्रान्त) refers to “being endowed (with the energy)� (of sound and the drop), according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, “Accompanied by the Sun, Moon and Fire, adorned with the thirteen, endowed with the energy (kalā-Գٲ) of Sound and the Drop, he is the lord of the seed-syllables in the south. He is the very powerful Bhairava, the king of the Tantras of the south. [...]�.

Shakta (शाक्�, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
: Shodhganga: Elements of Art and Architecture in the Trtiyakhanda of the Visnudharmottarapurana (natya)ĀԳٲ (आक्रान्त) refers to one of the 108 kinds of Karaṇa (“coordination of precise movements of legs and hands�), according to the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa, an ancient Sanskrit text which (being encyclopedic in nature) deals with a variety of cultural topics such as arts, architecture, music, grammar and astronomy.—According to the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa, 첹ṇa are the coordination of precise movements of legs and hands performed in a particular posture. The Nāṭyaśāstra also gives its view point in the same spirit. In the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa, one hundred and eight kinds of 첹ṇa are accepted, e.g., ĀԳٲ.

Natyashastra (नाट्यशास्त्र, ṭyśٰ) refers to both the ancient Indian tradition (shastra) of performing arts, (natya—theatrics, drama, dance, music), as well as the name of a Sanskrit work dealing with these subjects. It also teaches the rules for composing Dramatic plays (nataka), construction and performance of Theater, and Poetic works (kavya).
Ayurveda (science of life)
Toxicology (Study and Treatment of poison)
: Shodhganga: Kasyapa Samhita—Text on Visha ChikitsaĀԳٲ (आक्रान्त) refers to an “attacked (snake)�, as taught in the Damśarūpa (“aspects of snake-bites�) section of the Kāśyapa Saṃhi: an ancient Sanskrit text from the Pāñcarātra tradition dealing with both Tantra and Viṣacikitsā—an important topic from Āyurveda which deals with the study of Toxicology (Agadatantra or Sarpavidyā).—The author discusses conditions under which snakes bite, types of fangs and bites, vital spots of bite which can be fatal, stages of envenomation and astrological considerations for snake-bite effect. Multiple bite-marks caused by an attacked snake (Գٲ-ahi) are considered non-poisonous.

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.
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsĀԳٲ (आक्रान्त) refers to �(being) overcome� (e.g., by disease or old age), according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “You must understand that the body is overcome by disease (rujā-Գٲ), youth is overcome by old age (jara-Գٲ), vitality is oppressed by decay and life is oppressed by death�.
Synonyms: Vyāpta.

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.
