In Hinduism
Kavyashastra (science of poetry)
Uddīpana (उद्दीपन) or Uddīpanavibhāva refers to “substantial excitant” and represents one of the two types of vibhāva (excitants) according to Mammaṭa.—That which helps to arouse the sentiment or rasa is called uddīpana-vibhāva. Garland, sandal, garden, moon etc. are considered as uddīpana-vibhāva in the sentiment of love (śṛṅgāra). These two types of vibhāvas are the cause of the manifestation of rasa.

Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Uddīpana (उद्दीपन) refers to “heightening” (the love of all living beings), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.18 (“Description of the perturbation caused by Kāma”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated: “Thus the vast diffusion of Spring caused the display of emotions of love. It was unbearable to the forest-dwelling sages. O sage, then, even the insentient beings had the emotions of love. What about the state of sentient ones? Thus spring employed his unbearable power heightening the love of all living beings [i.e., kāma-uddīpana-kāraka]. On seeing the untimely display of spring, Śiva the lord, who had assumed a physical body indulging in divine sports, thought it surprising. [...]”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
