The hells are destinations where dead beings brought by messengers of Yama (the God of the Pit峁泂), and get punished by him according to their karmas and faults.
The Dev墨-bh膩gavata-pur膩峁嘺 or 艢r墨mad-dev墨-bh膩gavatam (mentioning 笔谤腻峁嘺谤辞诲丑补), is categorised as a Mah膩pur膩峁嘺, a type of Sanskrit literature containing cultural information on ancient India, religious/spiritual prescriptions and a range of topics concerning the various arts and sciences. The whole text is composed of 18,000 metrical verses, possibly originating from before the 6th century.

Yoga (school of philosophy)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch笔谤腻峁嘺谤辞诲丑补 (啶啶班ぞ啶｀ぐ啷嬥ぇ) refers to 鈥渟topping the breath鈥�, according to the Ha峁環aprad墨pik膩 of Sv膩tm膩r膩ma: an influential 15th-century Sanskrit manual on Hatha-Yoga dealing with techniques to channel one鈥檚 vital energy.鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥淪am膩dhi is not accomplished without Ha峁環ayoga and Ha峁環ayoga is not accomplished without Sam膩dhi. Therefore, [the Yogin] should practise both until the [final stage of Yoga called] Ni峁atti [is attained]. After stopping the breath (辫谤腻峁嘺谤辞诲丑补) by means of [one of] the retentions [taught earlier], the Yogin should make the mind unsupported [by sense objects]. Thus, by means of practice, he goes to the state of Sam膩dhi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).
