In Hinduism
Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
Source: archive.org: Uṇādi-Sūtras In The Sanskrit Grammatical TraditionAnuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).—One of the six devices which form the requisite qualifications of Sanskrit grammar;—Anuvṛtti is a repetition or recurrence of a word from the previous to the subsequent rule or rules, which is neccessary for the sake of intended interpretation. So far as the uṇādi-sūtras are concerned, the anuvṛtti is invariably present, permeating the whole uṇādi-pāṭha, to give a clear meaning of each and every sūtra.
Source: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammarAnuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).—Repetition or recurrence of a word from the previous to the subsequent rule or rules, which is necessary for the sake of the intended interpretation. The word is of common use in books on Pāṇini's grammar. This recurrence is generally continuous like the stream of a river (गङ्गास्रोतोवत् (gaṅgāsrotovat)); sometimes however, when it is not required in an intermediate rule, although it proceeds further, it is named मण्डूकप्लुत्यानुवृत्ति (maṇḍūkaplutyānuvṛtti). In rare cases it is taken backwards in a sūtra work from a subsequent rule to a previous rule when it is called अपकर्ष (apakarṣa).
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.
In Jainism
Jain philosophy
Source: archive.org: Anekanta Jaya Pataka of Haribhadra SuriAnuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति) refers to “co-ordination”, as used in the Anekāntajayapatākā-prakaraṇa, a Śvetāmbara Jain philosophical work written by Haribhadra Sūri.—[Cf. Vol. I, P. 10, l. 17]—‘Anuvṛtti’ means ‘co-ordination’ and ‘vyāvṛtti’ ‘differentiation’. These words occur m Anyayogavyayacchedadvātriṃśikā (v 4). There it is said: “things are of themselves—suo moto—capable of co-ordination with things of their own class, and differentiation from things of a different class, their nature is not to be explained by assuming realities—(sāmānya and viśeṣa)—other than the things themselves”. Vide intro. (p. LXXXIII) to SM.

Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Indian Epigraphical GlossaryAnuvṛtti.—same as vṛtti; cf. bīḻa-vṛtti, bīḻ-ānuvṛtti (SII 11-1). Note: anuvṛtti is defined in the “Indian epigraphical glossary” as it can be found on ancient inscriptions commonly written in Sanskrit, Prakrit or Dravidian languages.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
