: academia.edu: Religious Inclusivism in the Writings of an Early Modern Sanskrit Intellectual (Shaivism)¶Ùá¹›á¸³ó²¹ (दृà¤�) or Draá¸haya [Draá¸hÄ«yas] refers to â€�(extremely) firmâ€�.—In his ĪśvarapratyabhijñÄvimarÅ›inÄ«, Abhinavagupta understands scriptures in such a way that all scriptures, even those of the Buddhists and Jains, possess validity in their own sphere. He broadly defines religious scripture (Äå²µ²¹³¾²¹) as a verbal designation (Å›²¹²ú»å²¹²Ô²¹°ùÅ«±è²¹) consisting in the extremely firm (»å°ù²¹á¸hÄ«²â²¹²õ-³Ù²¹³¾²¹) reflective awareness (±¹¾±³¾²¹°ùÅ›²¹) that occurs within an individual knower. In other words, any group of words that can assist a person in coming to some kind of awareness within himself is an Ä€gama.

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.
Ganitashastra (Mathematics and Algebra)
: archive.org: Hindu Mathematics1) ¶Ùá¹›á¸³ó²¹ (दृà¤�) or “firmâ€� is another name for niccheda (“having no divisorâ€�) or nirapavarta (“irreducibleâ€�), according to the principles of BÄ«jagaṇita (“algebraâ€� or ‘science of calculationâ€�), according to Gaṇita-Å›Ästra, ancient Indian mathematics and astronomy.—[Preliminary Operations]:—It has been remarked by most of the writers that in order that an equation of the form [by - ax = ±c or by + ax = ±c] may be solvable, the two numbers a and b must not have a common divisor; for, otherwise, the equation would be absurd, unless the number c had the same common divisor. So before the rules adumbrated hereafter can be applied, the numbers a, b, c must be made prime (»åṛḳó²¹=firm, niccheda=having no divisor, nirapavarta=irreducible) to each other.
2) ¶Ùá¹›á¸³ó²¹ (दृà¤�) or ¶Ùṛḳó²¹kuá¹á¹aka refers to the “constant pulveriserâ€�, according to the principles of BÄ«jagaṇita.—The equation [by = ax ± 1] generally called by the name of ²õ³Ù³ó¾±°ù²¹°ì³Üá¹á¹²¹°ì²¹ or the “constant pulveriserâ€� (from sthira, meaning constant, steady). Pá¹›thÅ«dakasvÄmÄ« (860) sometimes designates it also as »åṛḳó²¹kuá¹á¹aka (from »åá¹›á¸³ó²¹ = firm). But that name disappeared from later Hindu algebras because the word »åá¹›á¸³ó²¹ was employed by later writers as equivalent to niccheda (having no divisor) or nirapavarta (irreducible). The origin of the name “constant pulveriserâ€� has been explained by Pá¹›thÅ«dakasvÄmÄ« as being due to the fact that the interpolator (± 1) is here invariable.

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.
Yoga (school of philosophy)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch¶Ùá¹›á¸³ó²¹ (दृà¤�) refers to “stable (semen)â€�, according to the CandrÄvalokana: a short dialogue between Åšiva and MatsyendranÄtha dealing with teachings on absorption, mind and breath.—Accordingly, while discussing the no-mind state: “So long as the moving breath does not enter the central channel; so long as one's semen, which is connected to the breath, is not stable (»åṛḳó²¹), and so long as the no-mind state which corresponds to one’s natural [state] does not arise in meditation, then if one talks of gnosis, it is deceitful and false prattlingâ€�.

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 Äsanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).

: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the Gaganagañjaparipá¹›cchĶÙá¹›á¸³ó²¹ (दृà¤�) refers to “that which is firmâ€�, according to the Gaganagañjaparipá¹›cchÄ: the eighth chapter of the MahÄsaṃnipÄta (a collection of MahÄyÄna Buddhist SÅ«tras).—Accordingly, “The great vehicle (³¾²¹³óÄå²âÄå²Ô²¹) is made with four wheels (cakra), namely with the means of attraction, the spokes (ara) are well fitted as the roots of good have been transformed with intention, [...] is unbreakable because it is firm as a diamond (vajra-»åṛḳó²¹), is unchangeable due to the promise (±è°ù²¹³Ù¾±ÂáñÄå) based on the firmness of the highest intention, is controlled and well-grasped by a charioteer (²õÄå°ù²¹³Ù³ó¾±), is always led by the thought of awakening, runs smoothly as it is attuned to the fulfilling of the qualities of vows, obtains the light (Äå±ô´Ç°ì²¹-±ô²¹²ú»å³ó²¹) of divine sight in the great view of ten directions, [...]â€�.

Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug. Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha’s words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (±¹²¹Âá°ù²¹²âÄå²Ô²¹) are collected indepently.
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve Reflections¶Ùá¹›á¸³ó²¹ (दृà¤�) refers to the “firm (doctrine)â€�, according to the 11th century JñÄnÄrṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Åšubhacandra.—Accordingly, “The wishing tree of the true doctrine which is firm (»åṛḳó²¹), whose large and very thick root has come forth from compassion for various living souls, whose twelve reflections are massive branches, which is guidance for a householder, whose excellent trunk is the way to heaven, whose splendid blossom is heavenly bliss [and] whose fruit is virtuous inactivity, is caused to ascend by worshippers of the Jina from water in the teachings of the splendid Jinas which are richly woodedâ€�.

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.
