In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchĀkulita (आकुलित) refers to “being agitated (by desires)”, according to Hemacandra’s Yogaśāstra (verse 12.19).—Accordingly, [while describing intentional thinking (saṅkalpa)]: “[The yogin] whose chief activity is detachment, should think of nothing at all. That mind which is agitated by desires (saṅkalpa-ākulita), does not obtain steadiness”.

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).
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationĀkulita (आकुलित) refers to “being overcome by a particular feeling (such as delight)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.17 (“The fight between Viṣṇu and Jalandhara”).—Accordingly, after Viṣṇu promised to stay in Jalandhara’s house: “On hearing these words of the great Asura, lord Viṣṇu, the lord of gods, said distressingly—‘So be it’. Then Viṣṇu came to the city called Jalandhara along with his followers, the gods and Lakṣmī. Then the Asura Jalandhara returned to his abode and stayed very delightedly (harṣa-ākulita) in the company of his sister and Viṣṇu. [...]”.

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.
