In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: gurumukhi.ru: Ayurveda glossary of termsIndriyārthā (इन्द्रियार्था):—[indriyārthāḥ] The objects of sense organs like sound, touch, vision, taste and smell, which are perceived through the sense organs.
Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of Āyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchIndriyārtha (इन्द्रियार्थ) refers to “sense objects”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] [Now], I will teach the practice of that, which produces absorption. [...] When dissolution of thinking, [ego, etc.] has arisen, the breath dissolves. Owing to the disappearance of the breath and mind, [the Yogin] relinquishes sense objects (indriyārtha). [...]”.
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).
