In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSammita (啶膏ぎ啷嵿ぎ啶苦い) refers to 鈥渂eing as venerable (as the Vedas)鈥�, according to the 艢ivapur膩峁嘺 2.3.32 (鈥淭he seven celestial sages arrive鈥�).鈥擜ccordingly, as 艢iva said to the Seven Sages: 鈥淸...] O sages, on hearing it they were dejected (蝉耻苍颈谤惫颈峁囜箛补) and have now lost interest in me and do not wish to give their daughter to me. Hence you all go to the abode of Himavat and urge the excellent mountain and his wife. Speak out the words as venerable as the Vedas (veda-sammita). Do everything necessary to get the matter straightened out and settled. [...]鈥�.
The Purana (啶啶班ぞ啶�, pur膩峁嘺s) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India鈥檚 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.
Yoga (school of philosophy)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchSa峁僲ita (啶膏啶た啶�) refers to a 鈥渕easurement (of time)鈥�, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.鈥擜ccordingly, as 莫艣vara says to V膩madeva: 鈥淸...] [Now], I shall define the nature of that highest, mind-free absorption which arises for those devoted to constant practice. [...] Remaining in absorption for the [following] times; moments, breaths, Palas, N膩岣嵞玸, Praharas, days, months and years, [the Yogin] then goes to the highest reality. A breath consists of an inspiration and expiration. A palas is regarded as six breaths. A 驳丑补峁璱办腻 corresponds in time (办腻濒补-蝉补峁僲颈迟补) to sixty palas. [...]鈥�.
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 膩sanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).
