Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Puranic EncyclopediaAgati (अगति).—A city. Two sons Takṣaka and Chattraketu were born to Lakṣmaṇa (the brother of Śrī Rāma) by his wife Urmilā. The court of the eldest prince Takṣaka was situated in the city of Agati. Formerly this place was known as Kanakhala and was occupied by forest tribes. Exterminating these forest tribes, Lakṣmaṇa buil{??} city there and apportioned it to his eldest son Takṣaka. (Uttara Rāmāyaṇa).
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 BirchĀgati (आगति) refers to the “coming” (from the practice of meditation), according to the Jayottaratantra (verse 9.30-32ab) states.—Accordingly, “[The Yogin] should always withdraw the mind that is distracted by all sense objects. The mind that goes everywhere, all the time, should be regarded as Tamasic. After that, the [mind] which comes (āgati) and goes from the practice [of meditation], is known as Rajasic. The [mind] which is fixed to the sphere of the meditation object is said to be Sattvic. And after that, the absorbed [mind] is known as beyond the Guṇas, O Tapodhana”.
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).
