In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Unnamya (उन्नम्य) refers to “having raised (the chest)”, according to the Mataṅgapārameśvaratantra (Mataṅgapārameśvara’s Yogapāda) verse 2.23-27.—Accordingly, while discussing ancillary and seated poses in Yoga: “[...] Having raised (unnamya) and broadened the chest and having made the arms loose, the wise [Yogin] should extend his back and raise the region of the shoulders. He should diligently hold the neck still, very steady and straight [but] not too rigid nor bent [to one side]. [...]”.
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).
Ayurveda (science of life)
Veterinary Medicine (The study and treatment of Animals)
Unnāmya (उन्नाम्य) refers to “lifting (one’s trunk) (high in air)”, according to the 15th century Mātaṅgalīlā composed by Nīlakaṇṭha in 263 Sanskrit verses, dealing with elephantology in ancient India, focusing on the science of management and treatment of elephants.—[Cf. chapter 9, “on kinds of must”]: “10. Tearing freely at ant hills, posts, bushes, shrubs, and trees, with excited look, when he walks along straight ahead with hastened footsteps, lifting (unnāmya) his trunk high in air [vakramunnāmya coccaiḥ], and when, at the time when his girdle is being girded on, he constantly sprays forth water (from his trunk) and bellows, entwining his right tusk (with his trunk), then he shows attainment of (that kind of) must which brings victory”.
Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of Āyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
