Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammarʲṻԲ (पठ�).—Oral recital, the word is used in connection with the use of words by the author himself in his text which he is supposed to have handed over orally to his disciples, as was the case with the ancient Vedic and Sūtra works; cf. the words पठित, पठिष्यते, पठ्यते (貹ṻٲ, 貹ṻṣyٱ, 貹ṻⲹٱ) and the like, frequently used in the Mahābhāșya in connection with the mention of words in the Sūtras of Pāṇini.

Vyakarana (व्याकर�, vyākaraṇa) refers to Sanskrit grammar and represents one of the six additional sciences (vedanga) to be studied along with the Vedas.

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 āsanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).
