In Hinduism
Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
Source: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammarŚliṣṭa (श्लिष्ट).—Or श्लिष्टबन्ध (śliṣṭabandha) compact arrangement as seen in the Samhita text.
Vyakarana (व्याकरण, vyākaraṇa) refers to Sanskrit grammar and represents one of the six additional sciences (vedanga) to be studied along with the Vedas. Vyakarana concerns itself with the rules of Sanskrit grammar and linguistic analysis in order to establish the correct context of words and sentences.
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchŚliṣṭa (श्लिष्ट) refers to the “absorbed” (mind), according to Hemacandra’s commentary (the Svopajña) on Yogaśāstra 12.4 (Cf. Amanaska 2.97).—Accordingly, [while explaining the integrated and absorbed states of mind]: “The integrated [mind] is said to be steady and accompanied by bliss, [that is to say,] it is accompanied by bliss because it is steady. The absorbed (śliṣṭa) [mind] is completely still and immersed in supreme bliss. These two [states of] mind apprehend just those, [which are] merely mental, and not external”.
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 āsanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).
