Source: Wisdom Library: The Agni PuranaAdhirohiṇī (अधिरोहिणी) and Niḥśreṇī represent (words denoting) “steps made with wood etc. for ascending”, according to the Agnipurāṇa chapter 363 (“The words denoting earth, city, forest and herbs”).
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) 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)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchAdhirohiṇī (अधिरोहिणी) refers to a “ladder (for ascending)” (to the palace), according to Ratnakheṭaśrīnivāsadīkṣita’s Bhāvanāpuruṣottama (1979, p. 100 l. 2).—Accordingly, [as The Kāpālika said to Māyākuṇḍalī]: “Well done, my dear, you are learned. The knowledge of Haṭhayoga is a ladder (adhirohiṇī) for ascending to the palace called Rājayoga. After that, kāyasiddhi may be considered to be in the hand!”.
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).
