He observes the five-fold Yoga of the beginning, continuity and fulfilment [i.e., niṣpanna], the innate and the one born from universal being; he sees the omnipresent universe”.

Source: Wisdom Library: Brihat Samhita by VarahamihiraNiṣpanna (निष्पन्न) refers to the “yield” (of rain from clouds), according to the Bṛhatsaṃhitā (chapter 3), an encyclopedic Sanskrit work written by Varāhamihira mainly focusing on the science of ancient Indian astronomy astronomy (Jyotiṣa).—Accordingly, “The dark spots, also known as ketus, the sons of Rāhu are Tāmasa, Kīlaka and the like, and are 33 in number. How they affect the earth depends upon their color, position and shape. [...] Men, reduced to mere bones and as named to beg will be harassed both by their own princes and by the princes of other lands. Some will begin to speak disparagingly of the character and deeds of their own sovereign. Even though there should be indications of good rain, the clouds will yield [i.e., niṣpanna] little rain; the rivers will fall and (food) crops will be found (only) here and there”.
Jyotisha (ज्योतिष, jyotiṣa or jyotish) refers to ‘astronomy’ or “Vedic astrology” and represents the fifth of the six Vedangas (additional sciences to be studied along with the Vedas).

Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchNiṣpanna (निष्पन्न) refers to “becoming motionless”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] [The Yogin] who has [attained] the natural [no-mind state] is instantly motionless (niṣpanna) as a result of having realized the emptiness of all states, resides in his own self, his hands, feet and sense organs are all inactive and relaxed, and he is free of disturbances. Because he is one in whom breathing has radically ceased, he is seen by those standing close [to be] like an inanimate piece of wood and like the [steady flame of] a lamp situated in a windless [place]. [...]”.
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).

The wheel of maṇḍala completely manifests (niṣpanna) by ceaselessly singing voices: ‘O Lord, though people invite [you] to feast every day, why do you remain in emptiness? Please arise, O Lord, the compassionate one, for me! Please love [me]. O you Great Pleasure, Vajra-holder! [...]”.
Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug.

In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsNiṣpanna (निष्पन्न) refers to “(being) produced (from a mass of atoms)”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “This corporeal body is produced from a mass of atoms (aṇu-pracaya-niṣpanna). An embodied soul has the nature of enjoyment, is beyond the senses [and] consists of knowing. Why do the stupid, afflicted by the planet of [their] birth, not perceive the difference [between the body and the self] which is recognised everywhere in the occurrence of birth and death.”.
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
