In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchKṣutpipāsā (क्षुत्पिपासा) refers to “(cessation of) thirst and hunger”, and represents one of the various signs and paranormal powers (siddhi) experienced by the Yoga practicioner, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise (presented in the form of a dialogue between Īśvara and Vāmadeva).—The last fifty-two verses of the Amanaska’s first chapter describe a temporal sequence of psychosomatic signs and paranormal powers (siddhi) brought about by absorption (laya). [...] It informs practitioners of the initial experiences they may have while immersed in absorption [e.g., cessation of thirst and hunger], and thus provides them with some idea of their progress in the practice, [...]. On cessation of thirst and hunger (kṣutpipāsā or kṣuttṛṣa), the Yogabīja 142; Amaraughaśāsana 3.1; Śivasaṃhitā 5.60; Śāṇḍilyopaniṣat 3.13, etc.
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).
In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita SastraKṣutpipāsā (क्षुत्पिपासा) refers to “hunger and thirst”, according to Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra (chapter 31).—Accordingly, “The Yogin wonders if this body, impure as it is, does not have some permanence. Wrong! It is a great suffering. This body is the place of arising of all the suffering. Just as water arises from the earth, wind from the ether and fire from wood (dāru), so all the inner and outer suffering comes from the body. The inner sufferings are old age, sickness and death; the outer sufferings are the knife (asi), the stick (daṇḍa), cold and heat (śītoṣṇa), hunger and thirst (kṣutpipāsā), etc. It is because there is a body that these sufferings exist”.
Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāKṣutpipāsā (क्षुत्पिपासा) refers to “hunger and thirst”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly: “Then the Bodhisattva named Kālarāja addressed himself to the Bodhisattva Gaganagañja: ‘In this Saha universe, son of good family, there are living beings suffering from poverty, lacking food or drink, and wearing ragged clothes; there are hungry ghosts tormented by hunger and thirst (kṣutpipāsā), covering themselves with their hairs, and subsisting on such as spittle, mucus, blood, and pus. In order to protect these living beings, please pour down the rain of food, drink, and clothing!’ [...]”.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!).
