In Hinduism
Shaiva philosophy
Upapanna (उपपन्न) refers to “possible” (as opposed to Anupapanna—‘impossible’), according to the Īśvarapratyabhijñāvivṛtivimarśinī 2.161.—Accordingly, “This [inference of an object particularized by its being external to consciousness] is impossible (anupapanna), since [an entity] external to consciousness—[and therefore] unmanifested, even in a dream—cannot be an object of inference, because [such an entity] cannot be the object of a concept”.
Shaiva philosophy is a spritiual tradition within Hinduism that includes theories such as the relationship between the Atman (individual soul) and Siva, the nature of liberation (moksha), and the concepts of maya (illusion) and shakti (divine energy). Saiva philosophy teaches that union with Shiva can be achieved through knowledge, devotion, and spiritual practice. It encompasses major branches like Shaiva Siddhanta and Kashmir Shaivism.
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Upapanna (उपपन्न) refers to an “adequate situation” (as opposed to Anupapanna—‘inadequate’), according to the Ahirbudhnyasaṃhitā, belonging to the Pāñcarātra tradition which deals with theology, rituals, iconography, narrative mythology and others.—Accordingly, “When kings are overpowered by enemies with an army (or: by strong enemies), when cities are burnt down and the Kings’ army is driven away, when people in various districts do not have access to food [and other goods]—if the kingdom is thus oppressed by the enemies’ army, oh Great Sage, and if in this inadequate situation (anupapanna) the King’s enemies are unimpeded, he should have a sixteen-armed Sudarśana constructed [and properly installed, for his power is] without obstacles”.
Pancaratra (पाञ्चरात्र, pāñcarātra) represents a tradition of Hinduism where Narayana is revered and worshipped. Closeley related to Vaishnavism, the Pancaratra literature includes various Agamas and tantras incorporating many Vaishnava philosophies.
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Upapanna (उपपन्न) refers to “arriving at an appropriate time” (with regards to alsm-gathering), according to the Pātravidhi—a manual of the Lakulīśa Pāśupata school of Śaivism dealing with purification of the initiate’s vessel (pātra) and other concerned issues.—Accordingly, “Alms are regarded as being of five types: [food collected] i) after the manner of a bee, ii) [sought] without a definite intention (asaṃkalpa), iii) from a place where distribution has already been going on from earlier times, iv) unsolicited, and then, v) arrived at an appropriate time (kāla-upapanna). (51)”.
Shaiva (शैव, śaiva) or Shaivism (śaivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.
In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Upapanna (उपपन्न) refers to “existence” (i.e., ‘the five state of existence’), according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly: “[...] Transcending the world of the parts of personality is not to be attached to the world of form or the world without form, but to teach for living beings in the five state of existence (pañcagati-upapanna) to transcend the world. The Bodhisattva therefore teaches in that way but does not destroy the world. Why is that? Because the essential character that the world is impermanent is not destroyed. The world is essentially characterized by from suffering, selflessness, peace, emptiness, non-distinguishing mark, wishlessness, the unconditioned, to suchness, thus this impermanent world is, son of good family, the pure supramundane path of the Bodhisattvas”.
Mahayana (महायान, mahāyāna) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many sūtras of which some of the earliest are the various Prajñāpāramitā sūtras.
