Source: Wisdom Library: Brihat Samhita by VarahamihiraNiṣpatti (निष्पत्ति) refers to a “growth” (of crops), according to the Bṛhatsaṃhitā (chapter 8), an encyclopedic Sanskrit work written by Varāhamihira mainly focusing on the science of ancient Indian astronomy astronomy (Jyotiṣa).—Accordingly, “The years of Jupiter (bṛhaspati) take their names from the several Nakṣatras in which he reappears after his conjunction with the Sun; and these names are identical with the names of the lunar months. [...] In the Vaiśākha month of Jupiter, princes with their subjects will be virtuous, fearless and happy; men will engage in sacrificial rites and there will also be growth of crops [i.e., niṣpatti—niṣpattiḥ sarvasasyānām]”.

Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (yoga)Niṣpatti (निष्पत्ति) or Niṣpanna refers to one of the four “states” or “stages” of yoga practice, according to the Amṛtasiddhi, a 12th-century text belonging to the Haṭhayoga textual tradition.—The four avasthās, “states” or “stages” of yoga practice (ārambha, ghaṭa, paricaya, niṣpanna/niṣpatti) introduced in the Amṛtasiddhi (vivekas 19–33), are taught in many Sanskrit Haṭhayoga texts; they are also mentioned in the old Hindi Gorakhbāṇī (śabds 136–139).
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchNiṣpatti (निष्पत्ति) refers to the “final stage of Yoga”, according to the Haṭhapradīpikā of Svātmārāma: an influential 15th-century Sanskrit manual on Hatha-Yoga dealing with techniques to channel one’s vital energy.—Accordingly, “Samādhi is not accomplished without Haṭhayoga and Haṭhayoga is not accomplished without Samādhi. Therefore, [the Yogin] should practise both until the [final stage of Yoga called] Niṣpatti [is attained]. After stopping the breath by means of [one of] the retentions [taught earlier], the Yogin should make the mind unsupported [by sense objects]. Thus, by means of practice, he goes to the state of Samādhi”.
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).

Source: archive.org: Syainika Sastra of Rudradeva with English Translation (art)Niṣpatti (निष्पत्ति) refers to “heightening (the delight)” (of hawking), according to the Śyainika-śāstra: a Sanskrit treatise dealing with the divisions and benefits of Hunting and Hawking, written by Rājā Rudradeva (or Candradeva) in possibly the 13th century.—Accordingly, “[...] Though the delights of hunting are well known even to men of no intelligence, still hunting affords peculiar delight to the mind of one who knows the science of hawking. Therefore, to heighten that delight (sadrasa-niṣpatti), feel the necessity of writing the science of hunting sometimes in detail and sometimes in brief. [...]”.
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.
