In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
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. [...]”.

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).
Kama-shastra (the science of Love-making)
pratipadya (धर्मज्ञ) refers to “that which is to be learnt” (from those conversant with Dharma), according to the Vātsyāyana’s Kāmasūtra: a Sanskrit text from the 2nd century dealing with eroticism, sexuality and emotional fulfillment in life belonging to Kāmaśāstra (the ancient Indian science of love-making).—Accordingly, “Man, the period of whose life is one hundred years, should practise dharma, artha and kāma at different times and in such a manner that they may harmonize together and not clash in any way. [...] Dharma should be learnt (pratipadya) from the Śruti (Holy Writ), and from those conversant with it. [taṃ śruterdharmajñasamavāyācca pratipadyeta] [...]”.

Kamashastra (कामशास्त्र, kāmaśāstra) deals with ancient Indian science of love-making, passion, emotions and other related topics dealing with the pleasures of the senses.
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
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.

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.
