In Hinduism

Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Aprāpta (अप्राप्त) refers to “having failed to secure something”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.18 (“Description of the perturbation caused by Kāma”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated: “When Kāma did not secure any entry [i.e., aprāpta-vivara] within the great Yogin, he became deluded and frightened much through the magical power of Śiva. Who could gain access to Śiva in meditation, who could fix an eye in his forehead that resembled fire with shooting blazing flames? In the mean time Pārvatī came there along with her two maids and brought various kinds of flowers for Śiva’s worship. [...]

Vedanta (school of philosophy)

Source: Wikisource: Ashtavakra Gita

Aprāpta (अप्राप्त) refers to “(being unconcerned with) whatever has not been attained”, according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “[...] Realising, ‘I am not the body, nor is the body mine. I am awareness’, one attains the supreme state and no longer remembers things done or undone. Realising, ‘It is just me, from Brahma down to the last clump of grass’, one becomes free from uncertainty, pure, at peace and unconcerned about what has been attained or not (prāpta-aprāpta) [nirvikalpaḥ śuciḥ śāntaḥ prāptāprāptavinirvṛtaḥ]. Realising that all this varied and wonderful world is nothing, one becomes pure receptivity, free from inclinations, and as if nothing existed, one finds peace”.

Vedanta (वेदान्त, vedānta) refers to a school of orthodox Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. There are a number of sub-schools of Vedanta, however all of them expound on the basic teaching of the ultimate reality (brahman) and liberation (moksha) of the individual soul (atman).

Aprāpta (अप्राप्त) refers to “non-attainment”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “[...] The Bodhisattva Gaganagañja then sustained the jewel-canopy of ten thousand yojanas high over the Lord’s lion throne in the sky, joined the palms of his hands, saluted, and praised the Lord with these suitable verses: ‘[...] (14) According to what is essentially a conventional expression (vyavahāra) you attained the supreme enlightenment (agrabodhi), but, really, that is ineffable (anudāhāra) since there is neither attainment nor non-attainment (prāpta-aprāpta). You obtain the dharma wheel as you attain awakening, but the turning is really without any distinguishing mark, and as such the entrance into neither turning nor non-turning. [...]”.
