In Hinduism
Vedanta (school of philosophy)
: Advaita Vedanta: Indian PhilosophyAccording to Ved膩nta, the term 补苍迟补岣补谤补峁嘺 (啶呧え啷嵿い啶冟啶班ぃ) refers to the four-tiered inner instrument of consciousness, which we call 鈥渕ind.鈥� It consists of buddhi (啶啶︵啶оた) or intellect, manas (啶え啶膏) the vacillating arbiter of the mind, 补丑补峁僰膩ra (啶呧す啶傕啶距ぐ) self-awareness or 鈥淚-ness鈥� and citta (啶氞た啶む啶�), the store house of metal moods and memories. While the concept and the meaning of first three terms are not ambiguous, the term citta appears to be loosey-goosey in its definition.
Vedanta (啶掂啶︵ぞ啶ㄠ啶�, ved膩nta) refers to a school of orthodox Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. There are a number of sub-schools of Vedanta, however all of them expound on the basic teaching of the ultimate reality (brahman) and liberation (moksha) of the individual soul (atman).
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram础苍迟补岣补谤补峁嘺 (啶呧え啷嵿い啶冟啶班ぃ) refers to the 鈥渋nner (mental) organ鈥�, according to the 艢r墨matottara-tantra, an expansion of the Kubjik膩matatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjik膩 cult.鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥淭hen, O goddess, one should prepare the inner (mental) organ [i.e., 补苍迟补岣补谤补峁嘺]. Having exhaled the breath and then having drawn it in again into one鈥檚 own body, retain it. Once (it has) entered the Root Wheel, it should be checked below and above. (Ku峁囜笉alin墨, the energy in the body) whose form is that of a sleeping snake and (which is) shaped (round like) an earring, awakes and moves quickly following the path of the Channel of Brahm膩 (产谤补丑尘腻苍腻岣嵞�). [...]鈥�.
Shakta (啶多ぞ啶曕啶�, 艣膩kta) or Shaktism (艣膩ktism) 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.
Yoga (school of philosophy)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch础苍迟补岣补谤补峁嘺 (啶呧え啷嵿い啶冟啶班ぃ) refers to the 鈥渕ind鈥�, 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...] For one whose self-awakening has arisen, who is in every way detached and is always devoted to practice, this [adherence to sectarian emblems] is not useful anywhere. Then, the different gazing points, the various other postures and states of mind (补苍迟补岣补谤补峁嘺-bh膩va) are useless to the yogin. [...]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).

(-峁嘺尘) (In Philosophy.)
1) The interior sense (also called 膩bhyantara办补谤补峁嘺) opposed to the v膩hya办补谤补峁嘺 (q. v.) or exterior sense; this notion which in general may be termed 鈥榯he faculty of thinking鈥� is thus modified in the Ved膩nta and in the S膩峁卥hya: [a]) (In the Ved膩nta it implies) the notion of what is the general substratum of 腻迟尘补苍 or Soul (艢补峁卥补谤补: tacc腻迟尘补苍a up膩dhibh奴tam补苍迟补岣补谤补峁嘺m); its activity becomes manifest in two of the seventeen 蝉奴办峁补艣补谤墨谤补 (q. v.) or subtle bodies of creation, viz. in the buddhi (q. v.) or that mental activity which forms positive conclusions, and in the manas, or that mental activity which 鈥榙iscerns and doubts鈥�; and as citta or 鈥榣ogical combination鈥� is involved by the activity of buddhi, and 补丑补峁卥腻谤补 or 鈥榮elf-consciousness鈥� is involved by manas, the activity of the 补苍迟补岣补谤补峁嘺 is fourfold, viz. as that of buddhi, manas, citta and 补丑补峁卥腻谤补. 艢a峁卥ara in his commentary on the Ved膩nta S奴tras varies slightly in this respect by substituting 惫颈箩帽腻苍补 for 补丑补峁卥腻谤补; the difference however is merely apparent, 惫颈箩帽腻苍补, worldly knowledge, being also one of the attributes of manas (艢补峁卥补谤补: 鈥槻共猿俨贯弗k补谤补峁嘺峁� mano buddhir惫颈箩帽腻苍补峁� cittamiti c膩nekadh膩 tatra tatr膩bhilapyate鈥�). [b.]) (In the S膩峁卥hya it is not the substratum of 辫耻谤耻峁 or Soul but) the generic name and characteristic of three successive productions of 辫谤补办峁泃颈 or Matter, viz. of buddhi 鈥榓scertainment or positive conclusion鈥�, of its product 补丑补峁卥腻谤补 self-consciousness鈥� and of the product of Aha峁卥膩ra, viz. manas which in this philosophy means 鈥榓n organ both of sensation and of action鈥� (see 产耻诲诲丑墨苍诲谤颈测补 and karmendriya), 鈥榯he organ of volition鈥� (see 蝉补峁卥补濒辫补). 鈥楾he ten external organs (viz the five organs of sensation and the five of action) supply the objects for the 鈥榠nterior sense鈥�, their time is the present time, while the interior sense embraces the past, present and future time鈥�.
2) (In the non-philosophical literature where philosophical terms are usually employed in a vague manner, this word means) Mind, heart, feeling, a synonyme of manas in its vague, unphilosophical sense; e. g.

[Sanskrit to German]
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.
