In Hinduism
Jyotisha (astronomy and astrology)
Source: Google Books: Studies in the History of the Exact Sciences (Astronomy)Pānīyapala (पानीयपल) refers to a measurement of time equaling six asus, according to Śrīpati’s Siddhāntaśekhara.—The time unit pala is occasionally referred to as ‘pānīyapala’ in contexts where it is quite certain that it is a time unit. Thus Āryabhaṭa II speaks of six asus in one pānīyapala; and Bhaskara II of 3600 pānīyapala in a day and night. Probably here it means “a pala that is measured by means of water clock” as distinct from ‘pala’, the unit of weight.
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). Jyotisha concerns itself with the study and prediction of the movements of celestial bodies, in order to calculate the auspicious time for rituals and ceremonies.

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.
