In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Kṣutpipāsā (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).
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Kṣutpipāsā (क्षुत्पिपासा) refers to “hunger and thirst”, according to the Brahmayāmala (or Picumata): a 7th century goddess-oriented (Śākta) Tantra writtin in 12,000 metrical verses.—Accordingly, “Obtained by the command of the Guru, lovely, possessing the marks of auspiciousness, who has mastered the sitting postures, possessing great spirit, purified by the true essence of the Tantras, devoted to the Guru, the deity, and her husband, unfatigued by hunger and thirst (kṣutpipāsā-jitaśramā), ever steeped in non-duality, free of discriminative thoughts and lust, well-versed in trance, Yoga, and scriptural wisdom, steadfast in the observances: after obtaining [a woman like] her, a man of great wisdom should practice what is taught in his ritual manual”.
Shakta (शाक्त, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.

Veterinary Medicine (The study and treatment of Animals)
Kṣutpipāsa (क्षुत्पिपास) refers to “those elephants afflicted with hunger or thirst”, according to the 15th century Mātaṅgalīlā composed by Nīlakaṇṭha in 263 Sanskrit verses, dealing with elephantology in ancient India, focusing on the science of management and treatment of elephants.—[Cf. chapter 11, “47. All wounds of elephants generally heal with (application of) water alone. Their hunger, thirst (kṣutpipāsa-ādi), and other (natural troubles) are removed by favor of the Lotus-born (Brahmā). [naśyanti kṣutpipāsādyāḥ padmayoneranugrahāt]”.
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.
In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Kṣutpipāsā (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”.
Kṣutpipāsā (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!’ [...]”.
Mahayana (महायान, mahāyāna) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many sūtras of which some of the earliest are the various Prajñāpāramitā sūtras.
