In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchTuryāśra (तुर्याश्र) refers to “four corners”, according to the twelfth chapter of the Mālinīvijayottaratantra (12.22-24).—Accordingly, the Yogin is instructed to visualize his own body as having the qualities of the earth element, which in this case has the appearance of gold, four corners (turyāśra) and is marked by thunderbolts. By doing so for three years, he gains an adamantine body.
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).

Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
