Vanavasa
''Vanavasa'' () is a Sanskrit term meaning residence (''vāsa'') in a forest (''vana''). While it can be undertaken voluntarily, it usually carries a connotation of forced exile as a punishment. It commonly figures as a harsh penalty in ancient Hindu epics (such as the ''Ramayana'' and the ''Mahabharata'') set in a time, thousands of years ago, when much of the Indian subcontinent was a wilderness.Gilbert Pollet, "Indian Epic Values: Ramayana and Its Impact: Proceedings of the 8th International Ramayana Conference, Leuven, 6-8 July 1991"; Peeters Publishers, 1995, , . When ''vanavasa'' is self-imposed, it can imply seclusion from worldly affairs to focus on spiritual matters, as in the case of ''ashram''s (hermitages) established by ancient ''rishi''s (sages). When imposed as a punishment, it carries an implication of enforced isolation from society and exposure to life-threatening extreme situations (the elements and wildlife).

Muhurat
Muhūrta () is a Hindu unit of time along with ''nimiṣa'', ''kāṣṭhā'', and ''kalā'' in the Hindu calendar. In the ''Brāhmaṇas'', ''muhūrta'' denotes a division of time: 1/30 of a day, or a period of 48 minutes. An alternative meaning of "moment" is also common in the ''Brāhmanạs''. In the ''Rigveda'' ''muhūrta'' exclusively means, "moment". Each muhūrta is further divided into 30 ''kalā'', (1 ''kalā'' = 1.6 minutes or 96 seconds). Each ''kalā'' is further divided into 30 ''kāṣṭhā'' (1 kāṣṭhā ≈ 3.2 seconds). Etymology ''Muhurta'' is a combination of the Sanskrit root words ''muhu'' (moment/immediate) and ''ṛta'' (order). The Ṛg Ved III.33.5 accordingly mentions this descriptive term. ''Ṛta'' refers to the natural, yearly order of the seasons, so ''muhūrta'' refers to the daily reflection of these. Also, cf., ''Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa'' X.4.2.18, as below. Annual calibration The Muhūrtas are traditionally calculated by assuming sunrise ...
