In Hinduism
Jyotisha (astronomy and astrology)
: Indian National Science Academy: Annual Report 2015-16 (astronomy)岵貹 (भागापवाह) refers to “assimilation of fractional decrease�, as explained in the Kriyākramakarī: a [16th-century] Sanskrit work on mathematics written by Śaṅkara and Nārāyaṇa.

Jyotisha (ज्योति�, dzپṣa or jyotish) refers to ‘astronomy� or “Vedic astrology� and represents the fifth of the six Vedangas (additional sciences to be studied along with the Vedas). Jyotisha concerns itself with the study and prediction of the movements of celestial bodies, in order to calculate the auspicious time for rituals and ceremonies.
Ganitashastra (Mathematics and Algebra)
: archive.org: Hindu Mathematics岵貹 (भागापवाह) refers to one of the six classes (پ) of combinations of Bhinna (“fractions�), which refers to one of the twenty operations (logistics) of ṭīgṇiٲ (“science of calculation which requires the use of writing material—the board�), according to Pṛthudakasvāmī’s commentary on the Brāhmasphuṭasiddhānta by Brahmagupta, a Sanskrit treatise on ancient Indian mathematics (ṇiٲ-śٰ) and astronomy from the 7th century.—Hindu treatises contain special rules for the reduction of classes [of numbers] (پ) to proper fractions (bhinna). Śrīdhara and Mahāvīra each enumerate six پs [e.g., 岵貹], while Brahmagupta gives only five and Bhāskara II following Skandasena reduces the number to four. The need for the division of fractions into classes arose out of the lack of proper symbolism to indicate mathematical operations.
The rule for 岵貹 is given in all the works on ṭīgṇiٲ. It is the same as that for 岵ԳܲԻ, except that “addition� or “increase� is replaced by “subtraction� or “decrease� in the enunciation of the rule for 岵貹.

Ganita (गणित) or Ganitashastra refers to the ancient Indian science of mathematics, algebra, number theory, arithmetic, etc. Closely allied with astronomy, both were commonly taught and studied in universities, even since the 1st millennium BCE. Ganita-shastra also includes ritualistic math-books such as the Shulba-sutras.
