Pratipādya (प्रतिपाद्य) refers to “that which is taught”, according to the Śivayogadīpikā by Sadāśivayogīśvara: a text dealing with Śaivism and Haṭhayoga in two hundred and eighty-nine verses.—Accordingly, while discussing the difference between Rājayoga and Śaivayoga: “Truly, Śiva’s yoga is not identical to Rājayoga. [This] is so said by worshippers of Śiva [and] it is apparent to the [higher faculty of] discernment. The difference between the two is taught (pratipādya) to those devoted to Śiva. Therefore, the yoga of Śiva is understood only by [those] wise men. [...]”.

Pratipadya (प्रतिपद्य) refers to “having assented” (to one’s own births), according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Having assented (pratipadya) to your own births in the forest of life, the pain you have been suffering previously for a long time by roaming about on the path of bad conduct subject to wrong faith is [like] an external fire. Now, having entered the self which is cherishing the end of all restlessness, wise, solitary, supreme [and] self-abiding, may you behold the beautiful face of liberation. [Thus ends the reflection on] difference [between the body and the self]”.

Synonyms: Aṅgīkṛtya.
