Shilpashastra (iconography)

The Rising (of the Sun) is associated with the time of Dawn, and follows specific guidelines of ancient Indian Painting (citra), according to the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa, an ancient Sanskrit text which (being encyclopedic in nature) deals with a variety of cultural topics such as arts, architecture, music, grammar and astronomy.—In the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa, the rules of Painting of different classes have been elaborately discussed. The time of uṣā i.e., dawn when the sun is about to rise. It seems to be a beautiful source of Painting. The picture of this time is associated with the rising of the sun, dim lamps and cocks in crying mood. [...]. Thus the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa establishes the fact that even in the pictures; the people belonging to different class and profession [e.g., the rising of the sun] were projected with specific attire so that general people can equate the picture with the practical character.

The “Rising (upwards) of a sound in the heart”, is denoted by the Sanskrit term Anāhata, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] [Now], I shall define the nature of that highest, mind-free absorption which arises for those devoted to constant practice. [...] By means of an absorption for two Palas (i.e., twelve breaths), a sound in the heart rises up (uccalana). [The Yogin] should recognize it to be the unstruck sound and should not fix his mind on it. [...]”.

context information

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).
