In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
: archive.org: Puranic Encyclopediaʰṇīt (प्रणी�).—A Son born to one’s own wife by the grace of great men. (Śloka 19, Chapter 119, Ādi Parva).
: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: The Purana Indexʰṇīt (प्रणी�).—A Marīci god.*
- * Brahmṇḍa-purṇa IV. 1. 58.

The Purana (पुरा�, purṇas) 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.
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditionsʰṇīt (प्रणी�) refers to “one who expounds (the meaning of the teachings)�, according to the Mataṅgaprameśvara (with Rmakaṇṭha’s commentary).—Accordingly, “The Guru should consecrate [as an Ācrya] a man who is skilled in what is taught in all four 岹, who has great energy, who is beyond reproach, who expounds the meaning of the teachings [encapsulated] in the six topics [of this scripture] (ṣaṭpٳ-ṇīt-ٳ), who is devoted to the welfare of all beings, who has performed the observance for [the propitiation of his] mantra. [...]�.

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)
: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (yoga)ʰṇīt (प्रणी�) refers to “that which was promoted�, according to Śivnandasarasvatī’s Yogacintmaṇi, a 17th-century text on Haṭhayoga by consisting of 3423 verses.—Accordingly, “[...] I have revealed here all that which is secret in Haṭha- and Rjayoga for the delight of Yogins. However, that Haṭhayoga which was practised by Uddlaka, Bhuśuṇḍa and others has not been mentioned by me, because it cannot be accomplished by contemporary [practitioners. Also], the procedures and so forth promoted (ṇīt) by the Kplikas have not been mentioned [because] they contravene the Vedas, Dharmaśstras and Purṇas�.

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).
