Source: Wisdom Library: JyotiṣaYātrā (यात्रा) refers to the “military astrology” and is the name of the thirty-second chapter of the Gārgīyajyotiṣa. The Gārgīyajyotiṣa is one of the most comprehensive of Garga’s texts and written in the form of a dialogue between Krauṣṭuki (Ṛṣiputra) and Garga discussing astral and other omens, comprising a total of sixty-two chapters (viz., yātrā), known as aṅgas and summarized in the Aṅgasamuddiśa (“enumeration of the divisions”, introductory portion).
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.

In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Tibetan BuddhismYātrā (यात्रा) is the name of Dūtī (i.e., messengers of Lord Vajrapāṇi) mentioned as attending the teachings in the 6th century Mañjuśrīmūlakalpa: one of the largest Kriyā Tantras devoted to Mañjuśrī (the Bodhisattva of wisdom) representing an encyclopedia of knowledge primarily concerned with ritualistic elements in Buddhism. The teachings in this text originate from Mañjuśrī and were taught to and by Buddha Śākyamuni in the presence of a large audience (including Yātrā).
Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug. Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha’s words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (vajrayāna) are collected indepently.
India history and geography
Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Indian Epigraphical GlossaryYātrā.—(EI 11; CII 4), festival; the festival of a deity; same as yātr-otsava. Note: yātrā 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 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.

Pali-English dictionary
Source: BuddhaSasana: Concise Pali-English Dictionaryyatra : (adv.) wherever; where. || yātrā (f.), travel; voyage; support of life.
Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English DictionaryYatra, (adv.) (the (older?) reconstituted Sk. form of P. yattha, cp. Vedic yatra in which, where. The P. form is younger than the Vedic, as the P. meaning is doubtful for the V, period. It is merely a differentiation of forms to mark a special meaning in the sense of a causal conjunction, whereas yattha is adv. (of place or time) only) in which, where, since; only in phrase yatra hi nāma (in emphatic exclamations) with Fut.; “as indeed, inasmuch as, that” S. II, 255 (ñāṇabhūtā vata sāvakā y. h. n. savako ñassati etc.); J. I, 59 (dhir-atthu vata bho jātiyā y. h. n. jātassa jarā paññāyissati “woe to birth that old age is to be noticed in that which is born!”); Miln. 13 (acchariyaṃ vata bho ... y. h. n. me upajjhāyo ceto-parivitakkaṃ jānissati).

Yātrā, (f.) (fr. yā, Class. Sk. yātrā, a n. ag. formation like nettī, meaning something like “vehicle, ” that which keeps going) 1. travel, going on, proceeding, good habit (like yāta; cp. yātrā=anuvṛtti Halāyudha 5, 33) S. I, 33; S. I, 16=63 (translation K. S. perhaps wrongly, “egress”: it is more a question of going on through life!). Perhaps to be classed under foll. meaning as well.—2. going on, livelihood, support of life, maintenance in stock phrase occurring at many places of the Canon, viz. “purāṇaṃ vedanaṃ paṭihaṅkhāmi, navañ ca vedanaṃ na uppādessāmi, yātrā ca me bhavissati etc. ” where DhsA. 404 explains yātrā by yāpanā, as may be inferred also from context. Thus at M. I, 10 (where Neumann translates: “ein Fortkommen haben, ” i.e. progress), 355; S. IV, 104; A. II, 40; III, 388; Nd1 496; Nd2 540 (correct devanaṃ into vedanaṃ!); Pug. 25; Dhs. 1348; Miln. 367: all passages identical. The whole passage is explained in detail at Vism. 31 sq. where yātrā is given with “cira-kāla-gamana-saṅkhātā yātrā, ” Bdhgh. thus taking it as “keeping going, ” or “continued subsistence” (longevity trsḷn).—In one other passage yātrā is conjectured for sātrā, viz. at SnA 322 in reading y.—yāga for sātrā yāga, where meaning y. might be taken as “customary. ” The ed. compares Sk. yātsattra, a certain ceremony. (Page 553)
Pali is the language of the Tipiṭaka, which is the sacred canon of Theravāda Buddhism and contains much of the Buddha’s speech. Closeley related to Sanskrit, both languages are used interchangeably between religions.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
