Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Source: Wisdom Library: Nṭya-śstraٳ (अवस्था) refers to the “five stages of the action� of a Hero’s striving towards the object in a dramatic playwright (ṭa첹), according to the Nṭyaśstra chapter 21. The fruits of these actions (phalayoga) relates to dharma (duty), 峾 (enjoyment of pleasure) and artha (wealth).
These are the five stages of action (ٳ):
- (beginning),
- prayatna (effort),
- پ (possibility of attainment),
- Ծⲹٲپ (certainty of attainment),
- phalayoga or پ (attainment of the object).
These five actions are connected with the five ٳṛt, or ‘elements of the plot�.

Natyashastra (नाट्यशास्त्र, ṭyśٰ) refers to both the ancient Indian tradition (shastra) of performing arts, (natya—theatrics, drama, dance, music), as well as the name of a Sanskrit work dealing with these subjects. It also teaches the rules for composing Dramatic plays (nataka), construction and performance of Theater, and Poetic works (kavya).
Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammarٳ (अवस्था).—Stage, condition; stage in the formation of a word; e. g. उप-देशावस्थ�, लावस्थ� (ܱ貹-ś屹ٳ, 屹ٳ), etc.

Vyakarana (व्याकर�, vykaraṇa) 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)
: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditionsٳ (अवस्था) or ʲñ屹ٳ refers to the “five mystic states�, as cited in the Īśvarapratyabhijñvimarśinī (KSTS vol. 65, 330).
They are:
- bliss (ԲԻ岹),
- ascent (udbhava),
- trembling (kampa),
- sleep (Ծ),
- whirling (ūṇi).
Note: Gnostic realization is here inseparably wedded to the pañcan-ٳ [貹ñ屹ٳ�] or Five Mystic States that we see repeatedly in the Kaula scriptures. This emphasis on direct experience (屹屹Բ) demonstrates that Abhinava’s understanding of the path of the ñī is not one of intellectual or conceptual realization, but rather one of insights into the nature of reality so powerful that they spontaneously bring on psychophysical experiences.
: SOAS University of London: Protective Rites in the Netra TantraAvastha (अवस्�) refers to “being situated� (in the ocean of the milky nectar of immortality), according to the Svacchanda-tantra.—Accordingly, [verse 7.216cd-217, while describing the meditation on the ṃs]—“After [this, the Yogin] visualizes the heart lotus, with sixteen petals, situated in the opening of the channel that pierces the tube [i.e., the lotus stem. He imagines] a white, radiant, completely full moon, endowed with sixteen parts, and with his body in the shape of a lotus pericarp. [Then, he pictures] the self, It is to be imagined [as seated] in the middle of that [moon], and is as spotless as pure crystal. [The self is] pervaded with ṛt, [which washes over him] in a wave from the ocean of the milky nectar of immortality (ṣīr峾ṛtṇa-ٳ)�.

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.
Yoga (school of philosophy)
: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama Texts (yoga)ٳ (अवस्था) refers to “yogic knowledge�, as discussed in chapter 3 of the ŚīśԲṃh: a Pñcartra text comprising 5500 Sanskrit verses covering a number of subjects ranging from selecting a temple site through building and furnishing it to sanctifying and maintaining worship in the sacred complex.—Description of the chapter [DzñԲ-ٲٳٱ-첹ٳԲ]: Śrī asks about the yoga which leads to a comprehension of the Lord’s Being in the sage's heart. Bhagavn explains that the kind of yogic discipline that leads sages to comprehend Him within has five characteristic stages: mantrayoga, laya, paricaya, Ծṣpٳپ and ٳ. Of these, the second one [laya] contains the classical 8 steps of yogic practical aims. (1-24). [...]

That which suddenly brings souls in this world to a state of mindlessness (unmana-ٳ) is taught in this [Tantra] to be [the power] Unmanī, who is in the control of [a Rudra called] Unmana�.
2) Avastha (अवस्�) refers to “remaining in a state (of deep meditative sleep)�, according to verse 6.21.14 of the Mokṣopya.—Accordingly, as Bhuśuṇḍa said to Vasiṣṭha: “[...] When [mount] Meru and the rest have dissolved into the world and become one ocean, then, having performed concentration on the wind element, I remain with my mind steady. Having attained the further shore of the universe in a pure state at the end of the elements, I remain because of the immovable state of my deep [meditative] sleep (ṣuٲ-ٳ), until Brahm is again intent upon the act of creation. Then, having entered the universe, I remain in the sky. [...]�.

[The omens are] seeing [someone or something], announcing [a creature’s name], cries [of animals], and the actions of a donor. [The officiant] should carefully notice an extraneous substance as situated (avastha) beneath the site. [...]�.

Vastushastra (वास्तुशास्त्�, vstuśstra) refers to the ancient Indian science (shastra) of architecture (vastu), dealing with topics such architecture, sculpture, town-building, fort building and various other constructions. Vastu also deals with the philosophy of the architectural relation with the cosmic universe.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantramٳ (अवस्था) refers to the �(twofold) state� (of Akula’s supreme bliss which arises within consciousness ?), according to the Kularatnapañcakvatra verse 1.10cd-15.—Accordingly, “The supreme (reality) attained by the teacher's Command is Akula that bestows worldly benefits and liberation. It is pure consciousness free of the impurity of My. The omnipresent and tranquil Void—that is said to be Akula. Akula’s supreme bliss arises within consciousness. Its state, which is two-fold (ٳ�tasyvasth dvidhbhūt), is (now) going to be explained. Listen. [...]�.

: archive.org: The Elephant Lore of the HindusAvastha (अवस्�) refers to the “seven stages of elephant-must�, according to the 15th century ٲṅgī composed by Nīlakaṇṭha in 263 Sanskrit verses, dealing with elephantology in ancient India, focusing on the science of management and treatment of elephants.—[Cf. chapter 9, “on kinds of must”].
The Seven stages (avastha) of Must (mada or Բ) are:

This first stage is there called ṃjٲپ. In the ҲᲹṣaṇaⲹśٰ, pp. 247 ff., are listed nine stages of must; of these the first is ūṇa첹ṭ� (=첹ṭaūṇa); the second is Բdzٴdzܰ (so clearly intended, though corruptly written); the third is ٲپ (which is No. 1 in ۲śپ첹, as just stated). The remaining six agree with the above numbers 2-7.

In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve Reflections1) Avastha (अवस्�) refers to “separation� [?], according to Pūjyapda’s Sarvrthasiddhi.—Accordingly, “The bodies as well as the objects of pleasure of the senses are transient like bubbles. In the endless cycle of worldly existence, union and separation in the womb etc. (avastha�garbhdiṣu ٳviśeṣeṣu) alternate in quick succession. However, the self under delusion considers the persons and objects associated with him as permanent. [...]�.
2) ٳ (अवस्था) refers to the “state (of old age)�, according to the 11th century Jñnrṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “You must understand that the body is overcome by disease, youth is overcome by old age [com.—vṛddha-ٳ-vypta—‘accompanied by the aged state’], vitality is oppressed by decay and life is oppressed by death�.

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.

: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Indian Epigraphical Glossaryٳ.�(IA 16), a territorial unit. Note: ٳ is defined in the “Indian epigraphical glossary� as it can be found on ancient inscriptions commonly written in Sanskrit, Prakrit or Dravidian languages.

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.
