In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch艢惫补蝉补苍补 (啶多啶掂じ啶�) refers to 鈥�(the process of) breathing鈥�, according to the Yogat膩r膩val墨: a short Yoga text of twenty-nine verses presenting Ha峁環ayoga as the means to R膩jayoga (i.e., Sam膩dhi).鈥擜ccordingly, while discussing the connection between Ha峁環ayoga and R膩jayoga: 鈥淔or great adepts [of yoga], an extraordinary absorption of the breath arises, [which is] free from the activity of all the senses. [It is brought about] by the cessation of the [normally] unrestrained process of breathing (艣惫补蝉补苍补-耻诲驳补尘补). [Such cessations] are called Kevalakumbhaka. There are no gazing points, no fixing of the mind [on a meditation-object], no time or place, no [deliberate] stopping of the breath, nor the effort of concentration and meditation when R膩jayoga is flourishing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).
Sports, Arts and Entertainment (wordly enjoyments)
: archive.org: Syainika Sastra of Rudradeva with English Translation (art)艢惫补蝉补苍补 (啶多啶掂じ啶�) refers to a 鈥渂reeze鈥� (in the rainy season), according to the 艢测补颈苍颈办补-艣腻蝉迟谤补: a Sanskrit treatise dealing with the divisions and benefits of Hunting and Hawking, written by R膩j膩 Rudradeva (or Candradeva) in possibly the 13th century.鈥擜ccordingly, [while discussing the treatment of hawks]: 鈥淸...] In the rainy season, when the breeze (艣惫补蝉补苍补) surcharged with the fragrance of the Kadamba flowers blows in every direction, when the river-water becomes dirty with the washings by the rain, when the crickets fill the whole space with their noise, these birds should be tended in such a way that regaining their vigour they may cast off their old feathers and assume new ones just as snakes assume a new slough. [...]鈥�.
This section covers the skills and profiencies of the Kalas (鈥減erforming arts鈥�) and Shastras (鈥渟ciences鈥�) involving ancient Indian traditions of sports, games, arts, entertainment, love-making and other means of wordly enjoyments. Traditionally these topics were dealt with in Sanskrit treatises explaing the philosophy and the justification of enjoying the pleasures of the senses.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
: Shodhganga: Saudarya Lahari of Sri Sankara A Study艢惫补蝉补苍补 (啶多啶掂じ啶�) refers to one of the 72 rays of the Vi艣uddhi-Cakra which (together with the 64 rays of the 膧j帽膩) are associated with the lunar plane called Brahmagranthi, according to 艢a峁卥ar膩c膩rya鈥檚 Saudaryalahar墨.鈥擜ccordingly, the Goddess is visualised (by S膩dhaka) as dwelling above the six 膧dh膩racakras ruling over the 360 rays which emanate in them [e.g., 艢惫补蝉补苍补]. These 360 rays represent 360 syllables (i.e., a consummation of the 艣补产诲补辫谤补辫补帽肠补 or 50 alphabets) as well as the principles of nature. For the 360 syllables, together with 丑补峁� and 蝉补岣�, Ny膩sa should be performed for 艢r墨cakrap奴j膩.
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.
In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
: academia.edu: A Critical Study of the Vajra岣嵞乲amah膩tantrar膩ja (II)艢惫补蝉补苍补 (啶多啶掂じ啶�) is the name of a V膩kchom膩 (鈥榲erbal secrect sign鈥�) which has its meaning defined as 鈥榖r膩hma峁嘺鈥� according to chapter 8 of the 9th-century Vajra岣嵞乲amah膩tantrar膩ja, a scripture belonging to the Buddhist Cakrasa峁僾ara (or Sa峁僾ara) scriptural cycle. These V膩kchom膩s (viz., 艣惫补蝉补苍补) are meant for verbal communication and can be regarded as popular signs, since they can be found in the three biggest works of the Cakrasa峁僾ara literature.
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鈥檚 words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (惫补箩谤补测腻苍补) are collected indepently.
