: Google Books: Manusmá¹›ti with the ²Ñ²¹²Ô³Ü²ú³óÄåá¹£y²¹1) The term ³Õ²â²¹±¹²¹³óÄå°ù²¹ (वà¥à¤¯à¤µà¤¹à¤¾à¤�, “caseâ€�) is the name given to that action of the plaintiff and the defendant which they have recourse to for the purpose of reclaiming their rights. Or, it may stand for the non-payment of debts and such other matters themselves, which often become the subjects of dispute and as such fit for investigation, which thus becomes the duty of the king. (See the ²Ñ²¹²Ô³Ü²ú³óÄåá¹£y²¹ verse 8.1)
2) The term â€�±¹²â²¹±¹²¹³óÄå°ù²¹â€� is synonymous to â€�°ìÄå°ù²â²¹,â€� which stands for all such transactions as gifts, deposits, sales and so forth, as also the documents supporting these. (See the ²Ñ²¹²Ô³Ü²ú³óÄåá¹£y²¹ verse 8.163)
: Google Books: A Dharma Reader: Classical Indian Law³Õ²â²¹±¹²¹³óÄå°ù²¹ (वà¥à¤¯à¤µà¤¹à¤¾à¤�) means a specific kind of law probably relating to social and commercial transactions. The second meaning of ±¹²â²¹±¹²¹³óÄå°ù²¹ means a specific kind of law probably relating to social and commercial transactions. The second meaning of ±¹²â²¹±¹²¹³óÄå°ù²¹ is “lawsuitsâ€� and, derivatively, rules of legal procedure associated with them. Perhaps this meaning is derived from the fact that most lawsuits may have involved commercial transactions, and the nonpayment of debts is always the first and paradigmatic area to be dealt with in legal procedure.

Dharmashastra (धरà¥à¤®à¤¶à¤¾à¤¸à¥à¤¤à¥à¤�, dharmaÅ›Ästra) 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.

For one reason or another, if the King could not attend the court, three learned Brahmins should enter the court and conduct the trial sitting or standing, and they should not conduct the trial walking to and fro. This was the practice of courts in ancient India.

Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram³Õ²â²¹±¹²¹³óÄå°ù²¹ (वà¥à¤¯à¤µà¤¹à¤¾à¤�) refers to “daily lifeâ€� (in the world), according to the MahÄnayaprakÄÅ›a verse 2.1-35, while explaining the cycles of the goddesses of consciousness.—Accordingly, “Daily life (±¹²â²¹±¹²¹³óÄå°ù²¹) in the world is predominantly of the nature of action; accordingly, knowledge of the PÄ«á¹hakrama is explained in terms of that. With this intention, the teacher makes the fettered (disciple) (±è²¹Å›³Ü) a recipient of the tradition once he has eaten the sacrificial pap (caru)â€�.

Shakta (शाकà¥à¤�, Å›Äkta) or Shaktism (Å›Äktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.

[...] During the worldly activity [±¹²â²¹±¹²¹³óÄå°ù²¹], the Lord creates (²õá¹›j-) unity with this or that subject, destroys (²õ²¹á¹ƒ³óá¹›-) unity with [such] other subject, carries out [the cosmic operation of] maintenance (sthiti) with respect to that which consists of a simple [object] such as the pot, etc., imposes obscuration (³Ù¾±°ù´Ç²ú³óÄå±¹²¹) by obliterating its complete nature, [and] produces grace (anugraha) by conferring completeness by the manifestation of unity in this particular manifestation.

: Brill: Åšaivism and the Tantric Traditions (philosophy)³Õ²â²¹±¹²¹³óÄå°ù²¹ (वà¥à¤¯à¤µà¤¹à¤¾à¤�) refers to the “sphere of ordinary human practiceâ€�.—In ĪśvarapratyabhijñÄkÄrikÄ 1.5.6, Utpaladeva shows that the sphere of ordinary human practice (±¹²â²¹±¹²¹³óÄå°ù²¹) functions on the mere basis of phenomena (so that from this practical point of view, at least, all inquiries into the existence of an external reality are useless) and that further, an external object is not even rationally possible, so that there is no point in assuming the existence of such an absurd object.

Ganitashastra (Mathematics and Algebra)
: archive.org: Hindu Mathematics³Õ²â²¹±¹²¹³óÄå°ù²¹ (वà¥à¤¯à¤µà¤¹à¤¾à¤�) refers to “calculations (relating to mixed quantities)â€� according to the principle of Interest which is a section of ±èÄåá¹Ä«g²¹á¹‡i³Ù²¹ (“science of calculation which requires the use of writing material—the boardâ€�) in ancient Indian mathematics (²µ²¹á¹‡i³Ù²¹-Å›Äå²õ³Ù°ù²¹).—The ordinary problems relating to the finding out of interest, principal or time etc., the other quantities being given, occur in the section dealing with the Rule of Five. The Hindu works generally contain a section called miÅ›raka-±¹²â²¹±¹²¹³óÄå°ù²¹ (“calculations relating to mixed quantitiesâ€�) in which occur miscellaneous problems on interest. The contents of this section vary in different works, according to their size and scope. Thus the Ä€ryabhaá¹Ä«ya contains only one rule relating to a problem on interest, whilst the GaṇitasÄra-saṃgraha has a large number of such rules and problems.

Ganita (गणित) or Ganitashastra refers to the ancient Indian science of mathematics, algebra, number theory, arithmetic, etc. Closely allied with astronomy, both were commonly taught and studied in universities, even since the 1st millennium BCE.

: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch³Õ²â²¹±¹²¹³óÄå°ù²¹ (वà¥à¤¯à¤µà¤¹à¤¾à¤�) refers to “mundane activityâ€�, according to verse 6.21.14 of the Moká¹£opÄya.—Accordingly, as BhuÅ›uṇá¸a said to Vasiá¹£á¹ha: “When mundane activity (±¹²â²¹±¹²¹³óÄå°ù²¹) in the usual state of the world has fallen [into disarray] at the end of [the world's] duration, then I leave my nest like an ungrateful person [leaves] a good friend. I remain in the ether, all my conceptual thinking has disappeared, and my constitution and body are immobilized so that my mind is without habitual tendencies. [...]â€�.

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

These are the outcome of the desire for earthly enjovments. [...] Rudeness of speech means indecent and abusive utterances. It is good when inflicting punishment and dispensing justice (±¹²â²¹±¹²¹³óÄå°ù²¹). [...]â€�.

This section covers the skills and profiencies of the Kalas (“performing arts�) and Shastras (“sciences�) involving ancient Indian traditions of sports, games, arts, entertainment, love-making and other means of wordly enjoyments. Traditionally these topics were dealt with in Sanskrit treatises explaing the philosophy and the justification of enjoying the pleasures of the senses.

Happy he speaks, and happy he eats. Such is the life of a man at peace (±¹²â²¹±¹²¹³óÄå°ù²¹). [sukhaá¹� vakti sukhaá¹� bhuá¹…kte vyavahÄre'pi Å›ÄntadhÄ«á¸�] He who of his very nature feels no unhappiness in his daily life like worldly people, remains undisturbed like a great lake, all sorrow gone.

You obtain the dharma wheel as you attain awakening, but the turning is really without any distinguishing mark, and as such the entrance into neither turning nor non-turning. [...]â€�.
