In Hinduism
Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
Source: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammarPrayojya (प्रयोज्य).—That which is employed or incited or urged; the word which is the subject in the primitive construction and becomes an object in the causal construction, and as a result, which is put in the accusative case being प्रयोज्यकर्म (prayojyakarma). As, however, the प्रयोज्यकर्म (prayojyakarma) originally occupies the place of the subject in the primitive construction, the term प्रयोज्यकर्ता (prayojyakartā) (प्रयोज्यश्चासौ कर्ता च (prayojyaścāsau kartā ca)) is often used in connection with it, as contrasted with the term प्रयोजककर्ता (prayojakakartā) which is used with respect to the subject in the causal construction; cf. इह च भेदिका देवदत्तस्य यज्ञदत्तस्य काष्ठानामिति प्रयोज्ये कर्तरि षष्ठी न प्राप्नोति । (iha ca bhedikā devadattasya yajñadattasya kāṣṭhānāmiti prayojye kartari ṣaṣṭhī na prāpnoti |) M.Bh. on P. III. 1.26 Vart. l ; cf. also Kaiy. on P. I. 2.65.
Vyakarana (व्याकरण, vyākaraṇa) refers to Sanskrit grammar and represents one of the six additional sciences (vedanga) to be studied along with the Vedas.

Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: University of Vienna: Sudarśana's Worship at the Royal Court According to the AhirbudhnyasaṃhitāPrayojya (प्रयोज्य) refers to “(that which should be) employed”, according to the Ahirbudhnyasaṃhitā, belonging to the Pāñcarātra tradition which deals with theology, rituals, iconography, narrative mythology and others.—Accordingly, “[This rite] should be employed (prayojya) by utterly glorious Sovereigns when they are in distress — [for this rite] removes the three kinds of sorrow which begin with the one relating to oneself; causes the destruction of all afflictions; is marked by auspiciousness; destroys all enemies; pacifies (i.e. removes unwanted consequences of ritual mistakes etc.); is the cause of triumph; kills the Demons; brings about prosperities; subdues all; bestows the longest of lives; is meritorious; [and] was perfomed by ancient Kings”.
Pancaratra (पाञ्चरात्र, pāñcarātra) represents a tradition of Hinduism where Narayana is revered and worshipped. Closeley related to Vaishnavism, the Pancaratra literature includes various Agamas and tantras incorporating many Vaishnava philosophies.
