In Hinduism
Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
Source: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammarPrasakta (प्रसक्त).—Applicable, but not actually applied; the word is used in connection with a grammatical ’rule or operation that has become applicable, but has not been applied; cf. उत्सर्गस्य प्रसक्तस्यापवादो वाधको भवति (utsargasya prasaktasyāpavādo vādhako bhavati), M. Bh. on P. II.3 32, also प्रसक्तस्यादर्शनं लोपसंज्ञं भवति (prasaktasyādarśanaṃ lopasaṃjñaṃ bhavati) M. Bh. and S.K. on P.I.1. 60. The term प्रसक्त (prasakta) is opposed to the term अभिनिर्वृत्त (abhinirvṛtta).
Vyakarana (व्याकरण, vyākaraṇa) refers to Sanskrit grammar and represents one of the six additional sciences (vedanga) to be studied along with the Vedas. Vyakarana concerns itself with the rules of Sanskrit grammar and linguistic analysis in order to establish the correct context of words and sentences.
Ayurveda (science of life)

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.
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (philosophy)Prasakta (प्रसक्त) refers to “(that which is) intrinsically linked”, according to the Utpaladeva’s Vivṛti on Īśvarapratyabhijñākārikā 1.5.8-9.—Accordingly, “[...] And [one should rather consider that] within this [notion of causality that is present in the perception of the clay] as well as [in that of the seed], a [process of] particularization leads to an exclusion [that takes the form]: “it is the clay that is the cause of the pot, not the seed”; [and this exclusion eliminates from the general notion of cause] that which [the particular cause] is not but which is intrinsically linked (prasakta) [with the notion of cause in general]”.
Shaiva (शैव, śaiva) or Shaivism (śaivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.
