Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of Āyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)
: Pure Bhakti: Bhagavad-gita (4th edition)Բ (अपान) refers to “out-going breath�. (cf. Glossary page from Śī--ī).

Vaishnava (वैष्णव, vaiṣṇava) or vaishnavism (vaiṣṇavism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshipping Vishnu as the supreme Lord. Similar to the Shaktism and Shaivism traditions, Vaishnavism also developed as an individual movement, famous for its exposition of the dashavatara (‘ten avatars of Vishnu�).
Yoga (school of philosophy)
: academia.edu: Meaning of ṻ in Early HaṭhayogaԲ (अपान) refers to the “downward-moving breath�.—In contrasting tranquility (śԳپ) with ṻ첹, the commentator, Jayaratha, describes tranquility as a “process of pleasant combustion� (ܰ첹). When the Guru has been propitiated, the “tranquil� methods of initiation (īṣ�-Բ) and devotion to a religious practice (ԳṣṭԾṣṭ) will bring about transcendence (atyaya) at the time of death. However, ṻ첹 is a sudden and violent process that burns up all things (屹) in the fire of intelligence. It destroys duality and is likened by Abhinavagupta to the enjoyment (rasa) of devouring enough (ṅg). The commentator notes that ṻ첹 is a forceful action (ٰṇa) that transgresses the normal order (ⲹپū貹) and, as noted earlier, this connotation of ṻ is implicit in Haṭhayoga’s effect of raising the downward-moving breath (Բ) and the normally dormant Kuṇḍalinī.
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchԲ (अपान) refers to the “descending breath�, according to the Parjapavidhi verse 29.—Accordingly: “Every day the Sdhaka should repeat the mantras as [many times as] he is able, drawing upwards the descending breath (Բ), correctly practising the Śmbhavī [Mudr]�.

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 sanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).
General definition (in Hinduism)
: Yoga Magazine: PranaThe third prana is known as Apana. It is located between the navel and the perineum in the pelvic region. It is a very important energy field which is responsible for sexual activity, procreation, production of semen and ovum, elimination of urine, faeces, gas, wind and expulsion of the foetus. This energy is mainly downward flowing, but we can also redirect it upward to the brain.
In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesA city in the Anguttarapa country (probably its capital). The Buddha once visited the city with 1,250 monks and the whole company was entertained by the Jatila Keniya (Vin.i.245ff). From Apana the Buddha went on to Kusinara (Vin.i.247). In the Samyutta Nikaya (S.v.225), Apana is spoken of as a township of the Angas (Anganam nigamo) and the Buddha is mentioned as having stayed there with Sariputta.
Several suttas were preached at Apana, among them
the Potaliya Sutta (regarding Potaliya), (M.i.359ff)
the Latukikopama Sutta (to Udayi) (M.i.447ff),
the Sela Sutta (regarding Sela) (M.ii.146ff; Sn.pp.102ff) and
the Saddha or Apana Sutta (S.v.225-7).
Apana was a brahmin village and was the home of the Elder Sela (ThagA.ii.47). On the occasion of the Buddhas visit to Apana, during which he converted Sela and Keniya, he seems to have stayed at Apana for over a week and ordained three hundred monks in the company of Sela (Sn., p.112).
According to Buddhaghosa (MA.ii.586), the village was called Apana because it had twenty thousand bazaars (apana) and was therefore distinguished for its shops (apananam ussannatta). Near the village, on the banks of the river Mahi, was the woodland where the Buddha stayed during his visits.

Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita SastraĀ貹ṇa (आप�) is an ancient captial of the of the Aṅguttar貹s, according to the 2nd century Mahrajñramitśstra chapter 52.—The Jaṭila master Keṇiya was living at Ā貹ṇa, the capital of the Aṅguttar貹s in the land of Aṅga. He was a staunch Brhmaṇist but, coming to learn that the Buddha along with 1250 Bhikṣus was traveling in the area, he went to see him and invited him to lunch on the following day. According to his custom, the Buddha accepted by remaining silent and Keṇiya went home to prepare the reception with his friends and family. Keṇiya had as a friend in Ā貹ṇa the learned brhmaṇa Sela who was a specialist in the Vedas and auxiliary sciences, an expert in interpreting physical signs and learned in mantras which he taught to 300 disciples.

Mahayana (महायान, mahyna) 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 Prajñramit ūٰ.
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: Encyclopedia of Jainism: Tattvartha Sutra 5: The category of the non-livingԲ (अपान, “exhale�) according to the 2nd-century Tattvrthasūtra 5.19.—What is the meaning Բ or exhale? The air inside the body (śī) which the living being throws out is called exhale.

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.

(-Բ�) 1) The air which goes downwards; in the Vedas, in the doctrine of the Upanishads as well as in the philosophical and medical systems, the air (comp. ٲ, vyu) which is inhaled and descends the body, one of the five vital airs which are supposed to pervade the latter; (opposed to ṇa, the air which is exhaled or proceeds from the body; comp. besides udna, samna, vyna and see ana); in the legend of the Aitareya Upan. it is therefore this vital air which is able to seize food, (for it introduces it into the body), and to give support to life; comp. annyu. In the Śٲ貹ٳ. and Bṛhadr. Upan. it is called, from the same reason, the function of smelling (and the odour inhaled): prṇo vai graha� sonentigrheṇa gṛhītonena hi gandha� jighrati. In the Vednta-Sra it is defined: ano nmvggamanavnyvdisthnavartī (comm. adho nbheradhastdgamanavnmaldynayanavyreṇa . yurgudam . tatsthnavartītyartha� . diśabddupasthagraha� . tatri mūtraretovisargasyԲkarmatvt); in the Sṅkhya it is like the other four vital airs the function which is common to buddhi, ahaṅkra and manas qq. vv. (Sṅkhya prav. smnyakaraṇavṛtti� prṇdy vyava� pañca) and explained by the comm. apanayandԲstatra yatsyandana� tadapi smnyavṛttirindriyasya. In the Kaṇda-Sūtra prṇԲnimeṣonmeṣaºº it is explained as having the property of adhogamana� phutkrdau v tiryaggamanam. This theory is then more fully developed in Suśruta’s Nidnasthna where the inhaled vital air ‘resides in the rectum and in time draws down the excrements, urine, semen, fœtus and menses� (pakvdhnlayona� kle karṣati cyayam . samīraṇa� śakṛnmūtraśukragarbhrtavnyadha�), and ‘when obstructed by bile produces burning, heat and a little blood, when obstructed by phlegm, heaviness in the lower part of the body� (ane pittasaṃyukte dhauṣṇye sydasṛgdaram . adhaḥkye gurutva� ca tasminneva kaphvṛte).

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम� (ṃsṛt), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
