In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: Wisdom Library: Bhagavata Puranaʰī貹 (प्रती�):—Son of Dilīpa (son of Ṛkṣa, who was the son of Devtithi). He had three sons named Devpi, Śntanu and Bhlīka. (see Bhgavata Purṇa 9.22.11-12)
: archive.org: Puranic Encyclopediaʰī貹 (प्रती�).—A King of Candravaṃśa (Lunar dynasty). He was the father of King Śantanu. There is a story behind the birth of the son Śantanu to ʰī貹.
One day this Rjarṣi was worshipping the Sun-god in the waters of the river Gaṅg, when a beautiful maiden rose from the waters and sat on the right thigh of the royal ascetic. The King was embarrassed and he told her thus:�"Oh sweet girl, who are you? Do you realise what an unrighteous deed you have done? Why did you thus climb on my thigh without seeking my permission? The right thigh is for the daughter and the wife of the son. Since you have thus sat on my right thigh, you shall be the wife of my son when one is born to me."
Hearing this the maiden jumped out from the thigh of the King and left the place and the King went to his palace. After some time ʰī貹 got a son named Śantanu. Śantanu was none other than emperor Mahbhiṣak who was forced to be born on earth due to a curse of Brahm. When Śantanu came of age ʰī貹 decided to spend the rest of his life in forests and calling his son to his side gave him all advice and added "Son, perhaps a maiden may come to you and if she comes accept her as your wife. Do not ask her about her identity. By making her your truthful wife you will acquire a great many benefits."
ʰī貹, thereafter, entrusted the kingdom to his son and after performing severe penance in the forests attained divyaloka. (2nd Skandha, Devī Bhgavata).

: JatLand: List of Mahabharata people and placesʰī貹 (प्रती�) is a name mentioned in the Ѳٲ (cf. I.89.51) and represents one of the many proper names used for people and places. Note: The Ѳٲ (mentioning ʰī貹) is a Sanskrit epic poem consisting of 100,000 śǰ첹 (metrical verses) and is over 2000 years old.

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.
Dharmashastra (religious law)
Source: Wisdom Library: Dharma-śstraʰī貹 (प्रती�) is a Sanskrit word referring to “disagreeable�. The word is used throughout Dharmaśstra literature such as the ѲԳܲṛt. (also see the ѲԳܲṣy verse 4.206)

Dharmashastra (धर्मशास्त्�, dharmaśstra) 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.
Kavyashastra (science of poetry)
: Shodhganga: The Kavyavilasa of Ciranjiva Bhattacarya (kavyashastra)ʰī貹 (प्रती�) refers to one of the 93 ṃk (“figures of speech�) mentioned by Cirañjīva Bhaṭṭcrya (fl. 17th century) in his Kvyavilsa and is listed as one of the 89 ٳṃk (figure of speech determined by the sense, as opposed to sound).—The figure ī貹 has not found sanction in the works of Bhmaha and Udbhaṭa. In Rudraṭa’s 屹ṃk it has been mentioned first.
Jayadeva in his Candrloka (C.L. V/100) has defined ī貹 —�ī貹mܱ貹Բsya hīnatvamupameyata��.—This same definition has found its place in the Kvyavilsa of Cirañjīva. According to both of them if the inferiority of a thing which is famous as ܱ貹Բ than the thing which is famous as upameya is described it is the figure ī貹. According to Cirañjīva some Ālaṃkrikas have included ī貹 under īDZ貹.
Example of the ī貹-alaṃkra:�
aya� nṛpaścedarivīrahant dnapriyo locanagocaro’bhūt |
karṇena ki� ki� surabhūruheṇa ki� bhnun v’pi kimarjunena ||“If the king who is the slayer of the heroes of the enemy and fond of benevolence would have come to vision then what is the use of Karṇa, the divine tree, the sun and Arjuna�.
Notes: In this verse Karṇa, the divine tree, the sun and Arjuna are famous as ܱ貹Բ and the king is famous as upameya. The superiority of the king is described to Karṇa, the divine tree etc. So it is an example of ī貹 alaṃkra.

Kavyashastra (काव्यशास्त्र, 屹ⲹśٰ) refers to the ancient Indian tradition of poetry (kavya). Canonical literature (shastra) of the includes encyclopedic manuals dealing with prosody, rhetoric and various other guidelines serving to teach the poet how to compose literature.
