In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationVyagra (व्यग्र) refers to “excitement�, according to the Śivapuṇa 2.3.15 (“The penance and reign of Traksura�).—Accordingly, as Brahm narrated: “[...] At the same time, several phenomena of evil portent forboding misery and distress happened, when the son of Vaṅgī was born making the gods miserable. [...] O dear, groups of mad asses ran here and there braying loudly and digging the ground with their hoofs. Terrified by the asses, birds flew up from their nests. In their excitement and flutter [i.e., vyagra-citta] they honked and cronked. They did not find a peaceful perch anywhere. [...]�.

The Purana (पुरा�, puṇas) 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.
Yoga (school of philosophy)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchVyagra (व्यग्र) refers to “being preoccupied (with carrying out someone’s actions)�, according to the Dattreyayogaśstra verse 101.4 and Yogatattvopaniṣat 1.76-78.—Accordingly, while discussing the concerns about the use of Siddhis: “These [Siddhis] are obstacles to the great Siddhi (i.e., liberation). The wise [Yogin] does not delight in them. He should never reveal his own power to anyone, except sometimes he may do so to a devotee out of kindness. The Yogin should behave among people as though dumb, simple or deaf, in order to keep his powers hidden. If not, then there will surely be many students [who will] undoubtedly ask the master of Yoga [to intervene] in their own affairs. [Because of this,] he will become preoccupied with carrying out their actions (ٲ-첹첹ṇa-ⲹ) and forgetful of his own [Yoga] practice�.

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).
Vedanta (school of philosophy)
: Wikisource: Ashtavakra GitaVyagra (व्यग्र) refers to “being eager (for achievement)� (i.e., eager for the attainment of freedom), according to the Aṣṭvakragī (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vednta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “[...] Even when living without any support and eager for achievement (graha-vyagra), the stupid are still nourishing Saṃsra [nidh grahavyag mūḍh� saṃsrapoṣak�], while the wise have cut at the very root of its unhappiness. The stupid does not find peace because he is wanting it, while the wise discriminating the truth is always peaceful minded. [...]�.

Vedanta (वेदान्�, vednta) refers to a school of orthodox Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. There are a number of sub-schools of Vedanta, however all of them expound on the basic teaching of the ultimate reality (brahman) and liberation (moksha) of the individual soul (atman).
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsVyagra (व्यग्र) [=ⲹī?] refers to “confounded�, according to the 11th century Jñnrṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “[This self] whose intention is confounded (ⲹ-ṛtśⲹ�ⲹīkṛśaya�) by the poison of manifestly false knowledge, desire and so forth falls into an existence that is difficult to endure, inflamed by the fire of endless suffering�.

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.
