In Hinduism
Jyotisha (astronomy and astrology)
Source: Wisdom Library: Brihat Samhita by VarahamihiraUpahata (उपहत) refers to “not possessing (virility)”, according to the Bṛhatsaṃhitā (chapter 16) (“On the planets—graha-bhaktiyoga”), an encyclopedic Sanskrit work written by Varāhamihira mainly focusing on the science of ancient Indian astronomy astronomy (Jyotiṣa).—Accordingly, “Saturn presides over the countries of Ānarta, Arbuda, Puṣkara, Saurāṣṭra, Abhīra, Śūdra, Raivataka, countries through which the river Sarasvatī passes as an underground stream and the western countries; over the natives of Kurukṣetra, the town of Somanātha, and persons born on the banks of the Vidiśā, the Vedasmṛti and the Mahī; over wicked men, uncleanly men and men of the lowest class; over oil-mongers, weak men and persons not possessing virility (puṃstva—upahata puṃstvāḥ)”.
Jyotisha (ज्योतिष, jyotiṣa or jyotish) refers to ‘astronomy’ or “Vedic astrology” and represents the fifth of the six Vedangas (additional sciences to be studied along with the Vedas). Jyotisha concerns itself with the study and prediction of the movements of celestial bodies, in order to calculate the auspicious time for rituals and ceremonies.

Pali-English dictionary
Source: BuddhaSasana: Concise Pali-English Dictionaryupahata : (pp. of upahanati) injured; destroyed.
Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English DictionaryUpahata, (pp. of upahanti) injured, spoilt; destroyed D. I, 86 (phrase khata + upahata); S. I, 238 (na sûpahata “not easily put out” trsl.); II 227; A. I, 161; Dh. 134; J. VI, 515; Miln. 223, 302; DhA. II, 33 (an°).
The formula at D. I, 86 (khata+upahata) is doubtful as to its exact meaning. According to Bdhgh it means “one who has destroyed his foundation of salvation, ” i.e. one who cannot be saved. Thus at DA. I, 237: “bhinna-patiṭṭho jāto, ” i.e. without a basis. Cp. remarks under khata. The translation at Dial. I. 95 gives it as “deeply affected and touched in heart”: doubtful. The phrase upahaccaparinibbāyin may receive light from upahata. (Page 148)

Upāhata, (upa + āhata) struck, afflicted, hurt J. I, 414. (Page 150)
