With sunken neck, teeth dropping out, all the movements of his body slow, his tusks falling out, eating (only) soft fodder, bereft of must, having no rivals (i.e., incapable of rivalry), dirty (or rough) in color, his body covered with wrinkles, following in the rear of the herd, loose-limbed (viśliṣṭa-aṅga), who sleeps very much, he is an old elephant in the ninth stage”.

Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchViśliṣṭa (विश्लिष्ट) or “disintegrated” refers to one of the Four States of Mind (Manovasthā), according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] [These] four states of mind should be known by the wise: disintegrated (viśliṣṭa), coming and going, integrated and absorbed. The disintegrated [mind] is said to be Tamasic, the coming and going [mind], Rajasic, the integrated [mind], Sattvic and the absorbed [mind] is beyond [these] qualities. [...] [The term] ‘disintegrated’ (viśliṣṭa) refers to that mind which, prior to [the beginning] of practice, is moving (i.e., unstable). [...]”.
Yoga is originally considered a branch of Hindu philosophy (astika), but both ancient and modern Yoga combine the physical, mental and spiritual. Yoga teaches various physical techniques also known as āsanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): (Jainism)Viśliṣṭa (विश्लिष्ट) refers to “(being) separated”, according to verse 12.42 of Hemacandra’s Yogaśāstra.—Accordingly, “At the time of the arising of the no-mind state, the Yogin experiences the body, which is as though it does not exist, as though [it were] separated (viśliṣṭa), burned, flying up and dissolved”.
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
