Jyotisha (astronomy and astrology)
Yātrā (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).
Yātrā (यात्रा) refers to a “journey” (i.e., royal marches), according to the Bṛhatsaṃhitā (chapter 2), an encyclopedic Sanskrit work written by Varāhamihira mainly focusing on the science of ancient Indian astronomy astronomy (Jyotiṣa).—Accordingly, “We shall now proceed to give a brief description of (the qualifications of) a jyotiṣaka. [...] In Yātrā, he must know the fitness or unfitness of a tithi (lunar day), vāra (week day), karaṇa, nakṣatra, muhūrta, and lagna (a sign of zodiac) and yoga for particular purposes. He must be able to interpret natural gestures and dreams; he must be able to state when a prince ought to start for battle to secure success in war; he must be learned in rules relating to ablutions and sacred fire ceremonies in honour of the planets and offerings to evil spirits; he must be able to interpret phenomena connected with such sacred fires and with elephants and horses while mounting the same”.
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.
Kavya (poetry)
Yātrā (यात्रा) in Sanskrit (or Jattā in Prakrit) refers to a “pilgrimage” (feast of pilgrimage), as is mentioned in the Vividhatīrthakalpa by Jinaprabhasūri (13th century A.D.): an ancient text devoted to various Jaina holy places (tīrthas).—Cf. “pilgrimage of the cloth”, Prakrit paḍa-jattā.—Without religious connotation: “distant expedition-of a trader”, Sanskrit dig-yātrā. [...]
Kavya (काव्य, kavya) refers to Sanskrit poetry, a popular ancient Indian tradition of literature. There have been many Sanskrit poets over the ages, hailing from ancient India and beyond. This topic includes mahakavya, or ‘epic poetry’ and natya, or ‘dramatic poetry’.
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Yatra (यत्र) refers to “journeying” (towards a particular cosmic level), according to the Svacchandatantra verse 4.141-145.—Accordingly, “[...] The other form [of bubhukṣu initiation] is the lokadharmiṇī, which destroys both past and future demerit. That lokadharmiṇī-dīkṣā is known to exclude the obligation to propitiate mantras [by means of purvasevā etc.]. However, when the current body breaks, [the candidate] experiences [the series of eight supernatural natural powers] starting with becoming very small. Having experienced [these] enjoyments he moves (yatra) upwards to whichever [cosmic level] the Guru has joined him [by yojanikā]. Whether this is at the sakala or niṣkala level [of Śiva] depends on [the preference of] the candidate and Guru”.
Yātrā (यात्रा) refers to one of the eighteen chapters of the Skandasadbhāvasaṃraha: an abbreviation of the larger Skandasadbhāva in 12000 verses having its narrative framework set in Kailāsa where Nandin and Māheśvara engage in a dialog regarding the present Śāstra.
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.
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Yātrā (यात्रा) refers to the “journey (of life)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.51 (“The resuscitation of Kāma”).—Accordingly, as Rati said to Śiva: “Why did you reduce my beloved husband to ashes without gaining any interest when he had come near you with Pārvatī? He was my only fortunate possession very rare to get. Give me back my husband, the lord of my journey of life (jīva-yātrā) who used to work lovingly with me. Remove my distress caused by separation. [...]”.
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.
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
1) Yātrā (यात्रा) refers to “festivals” (relating to the bathing of the deity and the renovation of the temple or sanctum), as discussed in the twenty-second chapter of the Paramasaṃhitā: one of the older texts of the Pāñcarātra canon consisting of over 2100 verses in 31 chapters which, being encyclopedic in scope, deals with philosophy, worship routines, mantras, initiation, social behavior, temple-building, etc.—Description of the chapter [yātrā]: Here Parama turns to special festive occasions, particularly those times when special ablutions are to be made and when a temple is to be repaired and re-consecrated (1-3). The Lord is pleased when He is given tīrthasnāna in a sacred river with all proper attention to details during the twelve-day cycle (4-43). When the temple has become dilapidated, or becomes in need of repair, or the image suffers damage, another kind of special yātrā-rite is necessary to undertake with all due care, so that worship may be re-instituted (44-75).
2) Yātrā (यात्रा) refers to “pilgrimage” (to holy places), as discussed in the twenty-fifth chapter of the Paramasaṃhitā: one of the older texts of the Pāñcarātra canon consisting of over 2100 verses in 31 chapters which, being encyclopedic in scope, deals with philosophy, worship routines, mantras, initiation, social behavior, temple-building, etc.—Accordingly, Parama says that places requiring several days’ journey because located farther from the worshipper’s home bring increasingly greater merit to the pilgrim (5-7). He then names some widely-dispersed places of Vaiṣṇava pilgrimage (yātrā) (14-19), and then turns to some rules of behavior to observe when on a pilgrimage (20-32, 42-48). He advises that one can also gain merit even by being kind to other pilgrims (33-33). He then moves to matters concerning acceptable times for pilgrimage (37-39), and suitable moods induced by a place as determinant for staying or moving on (40-41). The chapter closes with an eulogy of pilgrims and pilgrimages (49-52).
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.
Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)
Yātrā (यात्रा) or Vanayātrā refers to “procession (into the forest)”.—Navakalevara is the name of a festival (symbolizing the cycle of birth, death and re-birth) which is celebrated at Puri: a sacred site home to the eternal abode of Śrī Jagannātha (a form of Śrī Kṛṣṇa).—Jagannātha is made of dāru (wood) because a dāru image cuts up the miseries of the world and imparts eternal bliss. [...] On the 10th day of Caitra, initial rituals mark the beginning of the yātrā for the search for the dārus, including the selection of the Daita chiefs and their presentation with silken cloths, the receiving gifts and blessings from the king, after which the process formally begins. [...]
Vaishnava (वैष्णव, vaiṣṇava) or vaishnavism (vaiṣṇavism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshipping Vishnu as the supreme Lord. Similar to the Shaktism and Shaivism traditions, Vaishnavism also developed as an individual movement, famous for its exposition of the dashavatara (‘ten avatars of Vishnu’).
General definition (in Hinduism)
Yātrā (यात्रा) is a Sanskrit word referring to either a “festival” or a “journey”.
In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Yātrā (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
Yātrā.—(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.
Yātrā (यात्रा) refers to a “sea-journey” (also: jattā), according to the Uddyotanasūri in his 8th-century Kuvalayamālā (a Prakrit Campū, similar to Kāvya poetry).—The Kuvalayamala (779 A.D.) is full of cultural material which gains in value because of the firm date of its composition. [...] Sijjau-jattā is a Prākrit rendering of the Sanskrit siddha-yātrā that was applied to sea-journey including going and safe return. This had become a technical phrase in medieval literature. Details of preparation for sea-voyage (jattā) are given which include the following items relating to preparatory ritual and the equipment of the ship: [...] When the ship was to take off auspicious musical instruments were sounded, conch-shells were blown, auspicious songs were sung, Brahmins muttered the āsīsā; and thus in the sound of invocation and jaya jaya the ship took off its voyage (siddha-yātrā), the sails were unfurled, the ropes and riggings were pulled up, the oars began to be operated, the helmsman took observations, the ship fell into its course, favourable winds began to blow: thus the ship started its journey being tossed on the high sea waves.
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.
Languages of India and abroad
Pali-English dictionary
yatra : (adv.) wherever; where. || yātrā (f.), travel; voyage; support of life.
Yatra, (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). (Page 548)

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.

Yatra (यत्र) in the Sanskrit language is related to the Prakrit words: Jai, Jattā, Jattha, Jaha, Jāyā.
Yātrā (in Sanskrit) can be associated with the following Chinese terms:

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!).
