The Purana (पुरा�, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammarŪ (ऊह).—Modification of a word, in a Vedic Mantra, so as to suit the context in which the mantra is to be utilised, generally by change of case affixes; adaptation of a mantra: cf. ऊह� खल्वपि � � सर्वैर्लिङ्गैर्न � सर्वाभिर्विभक्तिभिर्वेदे मन्त्र� निगदिताः � ते � अवश्यं यज्ञगतेन यथायथं विपरिणमयितव्या� � (ū� khalvapi | na sarvairliṅgairna ca sarvābhirvibhaktibhirvede mantrā nigaditā� | te ca avaśya� yajñagatena yathāyatha� vipariṇamayitavyā� |) M. Bh. on P.1.1 Āhnika 1.

Vyakarana (व्याकर�, vyākaraṇa) refers to Sanskrit grammar and represents one of the six additional sciences (vedanga) to be studied along with the Vedas. Vyakarana concerns itself with the rules of Sanskrit grammar and linguistic analysis in order to establish the correct context of words and sentences.
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
: academia.edu: The Śaiva Yogas and Their Relation to Other Systems of YogaŪ (ऊह, “judgement�) refers to one of the six members (ṅg) of the Ṣaḍṅgyoga, as taught in the early Śaiva Siddhānta.—Tarka is also known as Tarka or Anusmṛti (in the Buddhist forms of Ṣaḍṅgyoga). Ṣaḍṅgyoga is taught as the standard yoga of the Śaivasiddhānta (Siddhānta) a mainstream, Veda congruent dualist tradition. See, for example, the 6th century texts of Raurava-āgama, Kiraṇa-āgma, Sarvajñānottara-āgama, Svāyambhuvasūtraṃgraha, the 7th century Mālinīvijayottara and the 9th century Tantrasadbhāva.

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.
Dharmashastra (religious law)
: Sacred Texts: The Grihya Sutras, Part 2 (SBE30)Ū (ऊह) refers to “modification of the mantras�, according to the Ā貹ٲ-ⲹñ-貹ṣ�-ūٰ.—“In a Prakṛti sacrifice there is no Ū, modification of the mantras. In a Vikṛti sacrifice modification takes place, according to the sense, but not in an Arthavāda�.
Saṃnāma means the same as Ū, i.e. the modification of a verse so as to adapt it to the object for which it is used. [...] Certain mantras of the Veda have to be slightly altered, when their application varies. In the normal sacrifices, however, no such alteration takes place. Some mantras remain the same in the Vikṛti as in the Prakṛti. Others have to be modified so as to be adapted to anything new that has to be. If, for instance, there is a Puroḍāśa for Agni in the Prakṛti, and in its place a Puroḍāśa for Sūrya in the Vikṛti, then we must place Sūrya instead of Agni in the dedicatory mantra.

Dharmashastra (धर्मशास्त्�, dharmaśāstra) contains the instructions (shastra) regarding religious conduct of livelihood (dharma), ceremonies, jurisprudence (study of law) and more. It is categorized as smriti, an important and authoritative selection of books dealing with the Hindu lifestyle.

Source: Wisdom Library: Tibetan BuddhismŪ (ऊह�) refers to one of the various Nakṣatras mentioned as attending the teachings in the 6th century Mañjuśrīmūlakalpa: one of the largest Kriyā Tantras devoted to Mañjuśrī (the Bodhisattva of wisdom) representing an encyclopedia of knowledge primarily concerned with ritualistic elements in Buddhism. The teachings in this text originate from Mañjuśrī and were taught to and by Buddha Śākyamuni in the presence of a large audience (including Ū).

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.
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: Trisastisalakapurusacaritra1) Ū (ऊह) refers to “reasoning and doubts about meaning� and represents one of the eight īṇa (eight qualities), named in the Yogaśāstra, comentary p. 53a (Bhavnagar ed.). An alternative explanation offered by the commentary for ū and apoha is that ū is general knowledge and apoha specialized knowledge�.
2) Ū (ऊह) or Ihā refers to the “desire to know more about it� and represents one of the four classes of m “sense-knowledge� (پ-ñԲ) which itself is one of the five types of “right-knowledge� (ⲹñԲ), as mentioned in chapter 1.3 [īś-ٰ] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.
Accordingly, as mentioned in Ṛṣabha’s sermon:
“[... ǰṣa is attained by those who practice unceasingly the brilliant triad of knowledge, faith, and conduct. Among these, exact knowledge which comes from a summary or detailed study of the principles, ī, etc., is called ‘right-knowledge� (ⲹñԲ). [...] Mati-jñāna is said to be divided into [viz., ū], etc., and these again into bahu, etc., and originates by means of the senses, and by means of the mind�.

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.

The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
