In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (yoga)ūṭāg (कूटागा�) refers to a “multi-storied palace�, according to the Amṛtasiddhi, a 12th-century text belonging to the Haṭhayoga textual tradition.—Accordingly, “[...] Bindu resides in Kāmarūpa in the hollow of the multi-storied palace (ūṭāg). Through pleasurable contact at Pūrṇagiri it travels along the Central Channel. Rajas resides in the great sacred field in the perineal region. It is as red as a Ჹ flower and is supported by the Goddess element. [...]�.
Note: ūṭāg is a common term in the Pali Canon, meaning “a building with a peaked roof or pinnacles, possibly gabled; or with an upper storey� (Rhys Davis and Stede 1921�1925, s.v. ūṭāg). It is also found in several Vajrayāna texts, where it refers to a “multi-storeyed palace� in the middle of a ṇḍ (Reigle 2012, 442). It is not found in Śaiva texts and is not recognised by the later north Indian and Nepali witnesses of the Amṛtasiddhi.

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 āsanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).
In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchāūṭāg (कूटागा�) refers to a “pavilion�, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “When the Lord revealed the exposition of the dharma, A Chapter of the Great Collection to Bodhisattvas, the great beings, the whole assembly thought that I am sitting in a pavilion [i.e., ūṭāg] in the vault of the sky�.
Note: Sanskrit: ūṭāg, Tibetan: kha� pa brtsegs pa; in Vedic, ūṭa means horn, bone of the forehead, prominence, point; in Pāli, ūṭāg means a building with a peaked roof or pinnacles, possibly gabled; or an upper story (PTSD: 225). For a discussion on the etymology of ūṭāg, see Vreese 1947: 323-325. The image of pavilions shining in the sky seems to be used for dramatic purpose, emphasizing the symbol of the text, namely the sky (gagana), in the introduction. The Sgm, the fifth chapter of the Msp, starts with a great flood as a symbolic event.

Mahayana (महायान, mahāyāna) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many ūٰ of which some of the earliest are the various Prajñāpāramitā ūٰ.
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
: MDPI Books: The Ocean of Heroesūṭāg (कूटागा�) refers to a “divine castle�, according to the 10th-century Ḍākārṇava-tantra: one of the last Tibetan Tantric scriptures belonging to the Buddhist Saṃvara tradition consisting of 51 chapters.—Accordingly, “[...] Then, after [those whose] intrinsic natures are the five seeds, he should visualize a divine castle (ūṭāg) [at the top of them], and, afterward, the Causal Vajra-holder [in that castle placed] on a lotus on Mount Meru clearly. [...]�.

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 (Բ) are collected indepently.
