In Hinduism
Sports, Arts and Entertainment (wordly enjoyments)
Source: archive.org: Syainika Sastra of Rudradeva with English Translation (art)Atandrita (अतन्द्रित) refers to “great watchfulness” (while venturing into the mountains), according to the Śyainika-śāstra: a Sanskrit treatise dealing with the divisions and benefits of Hunting and Hawking, written by Rājā Rudradeva (or Candradeva) in possibly the 13th century.—Accordingly, [while discussing the outlines of hawking]: “[...] While the king himself, surrrounded by a few distinguished and faithful champions, [...] should ride on a good horse of excellent gait and speed, with flowing bridles, and trotting in harmony with the music of drums; and, accompanied by a large number of hawkers, proceeds to a shady place in a mountain in proper time and with great watchfulness (atandrita) [...]”.
This section covers the skills and profiencies of the Kalas (“performing arts”) and Shastras (“sciences”) involving ancient Indian traditions of sports, games, arts, entertainment, love-making and other means of wordly enjoyments. Traditionally these topics were dealt with in Sanskrit treatises explaing the philosophy and the justification of enjoying the pleasures of the senses.
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationAtandrita (अतन्द्रित) refers to “remaining alert (throughout the day and night)” (as part of severe austerities), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.1 (“Description of Tripura—the three cities”).—Accordingly, as Sanatkumāra narrated to Vyāsa: “O great sage, when the Asura Tāraka was killed by Skanda, the son of Śiva, his three sons performed austerities. [...] They remained standing on their heads for a thousand years. They remained standing with their arms lifted for hundred years. Thus they bore extreme distress in their tenacious evil intent. They remained alert (atandrita) day and night. O sage, thus many years elapsed even as they performed the penance. [...] [...]”.
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.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
