In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Vyatīpāta (व्यतीपात) refers to the foremost among Yogas, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.2 (“The Prayer of the gods).—Accordingly, as the Gods eulogized Śiva: “[...] Among the Yogas you are the Vyatīpāta; among creepers you are the Soma creeper; among intellectual activities you are the virtuous inclination, among intimate ones you are the wife. Among the pure activities of the aspirant, O great lord, you are Prāṇāyāma; among all Jyotirliṅgas you are Viśveśvara. [...]”.
Vyatīpāta (व्यतीपात).—(of full moon) when the sun and moon look at each other; when they stand equally at one point it is Vyatīpāta day; it is reckoned to be Vaṣaṭkriyākāla;1 a yugādi fit for śrāddha;2 inauspicious for building houses.3

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.
Jyotisha (astronomy and astrology)
Vyatipāta (व्यतिपात).—An astronomical phenomenon when the sum of the (true) longitudes of the Sun and the Moon amounts to half a circle (i.e.., 180° or 6 signs). Note: Vyati-pāta is a Sanskrit technical term used in ancient Indian sciences such as Astronomy, Mathematics and Geometry.
Vyātipāta (व्यातिपात) happens when “the moon and the sun are opposite sides of either solstice and their minutes of declination are the same”, as explained in the pre-7th century Somasiddhānta (chapter 9): an important astronomical treatise containing ten chapters (three hundred thirty five verses) described by Candra to sage Saunaka.
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.
India history and geography
Vyatīpāta.—(IA 19), used in relation to eclipses. Note: vyatīpāta is defined in the “Indian epigraphical glossary” as it can be found on ancient inscriptions commonly written in Sanskrit, Prakrit or Dravidian languages.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
