Vyāpya (व्याप्य).—lit. that which is occupied; the word refers to a kind of an object where the object is occupied by the verbal activity of the transitive root; the word आप्य (āpya) is also used in this sense; cf. कर्म निर्वर्त्ये विकार्यं प्राप्यं च यस्य प्रकृत्युच्छेदो गुणान्तरं वोत्पद्यते तद्विकार्यम् (karma nirvartye vikāryaṃ prāpyaṃ ca yasya prakṛtyucchedo guṇāntaraṃ votpadyate tadvikāryam) Srinagara-Prakasa 2. The term is used as a technical term instead of the term कर्म (karma) in the Hemacandra, Candra and other systems of grammar; cf. Hem. II.2.3; Candra I.1.23.

Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)

Vyāpya (व्याप्य) refers to “having spread”, according to the Netratantroddyota commentary on the Netratantra of Kṣemarāja: a Śaiva text from the 9th century in which Śiva (Bhairava) teaches Pārvatī topics such as metaphysics, cosmology, and soteriology.—Accordingly, [verse 4.3cd-4ab]—“[...] This means, he should contemplate each of these paths [that has to be purified]. After [he] makes it the principle [path of worship he becomes the] pervader, [i.e., that which permeates the others] with the form of [potential or manifest] explicitness in the remaining five paths. Included within [the path], as it has spread (vyāpya), is the form of potential. As has been said in the Svacchanda-tantra, ‘[he should] visualize the adhvans as pervaded by [the others and the others] pervaded by it’”.

[...] Fearlessly she rushed amid the battle-field where Bhargava was stationed surrounded by the leading Daityas. O sage, she enveloped (vyāpya) the whole sky with her terrible brilliance. She split the ground she trod. [...] ”.

In Jainism

General definition (in Jainism)

Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve Reflections

Vyāpya (व्याप्य) refers to “having permeated” (the self), according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Having assented to your own births in the forest of life, the pain you have been suffering previously for a long time by roaming about on the path of bad conduct subject to wrong faith is [like] an external fire. Now, having entered [com.—vyāpya—‘having permeated’] the self which is cherishing the end of all restlessness, wise, solitary, supreme [and] self-abiding, may you behold the beautiful face of liberation. [Thus ends the reflection on] difference [between the body and the self]”.

Synonyms: Pravigāhya.
