The word '''Pārijāt''' ([[Sanskrit]]: पारिजात) refers to the [[Nyctanthes arbor-tristis|night-flowering coral jasmine]], [[Indian coral tree]] or simply fragrance. It is not to be confused with ''parijāt'' ([[Sanskrit]]: परिजात), whose meaning is "descended from", "begotten by" or "fully developed".<ref>{{cite book|title=Sanskrit-English Dictionary|publisher=Spokensanskrit de.|url=http://spokensanskrit.de/index.php?tinput=pArijAta&direction=SE&link=yes&choice=yes}}</ref> The flowering species of [[nyctanthes arbor-tristis]] is called parijata.

In [[Hindu mythology]], the celestial ''Pārijāt tree'' is the tree of the universe which is owned by [[Shachi|Indrani]] and planted in ''[[svarga]]'' located between heaven and earth, which tree, also known as ''[[Kalpavriksha|Kalpa-taru]]'', is believed to yield all objects of desire.<ref>{{cite book|title=Encyclopedia of Ancient Deities|publisher=[[Routledge]]|page=373|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=sEIngqiKOugC&pg=PA373&dq=parijata&hl=en&sa=X&ei=hqf-VNK-PIyeugTil4GwDw&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=parijata&f=false}}</ref> This tree is identified with the Mandāra tree.

From the [[Bhagavata Purana]], the [[Vishnu Purana]] and the [[Mahabharata]] it is learnt that the elaborate process of ''[[Samudra manthan]]'' of primal waters of the cosmic ocean yielded the ''Pārijāt tree'' as one of the three valuables, this tree, said to have blossomed atop [[Mount Meru]] in the garden of paradise and identified with the Indian coral tree, was claimed by [[Indra]] no sooner it rose to the surface and emitted its fragrance.<ref>{{cite book|title=Why the Parijat Tree came Down to Earth|author=Anita Nair|publisher=Penguin|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=XUQnAgAAQBAJ&pg=PT13&dq=parijata&hl=en&sa=X&ei=JKb-VI37OI6GuASI5YHICQ&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=parijata&f=false}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=the Handbook of Tibetan Buddhist Symbols|publisher=Serindia publications|page=193|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=-3804Ud9-4IC&pg=PA193&dq=parijata&hl=en&sa=X&ei=JKb-VI37OI6GuASI5YHICQ&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=parijata&f=false}}</ref>

[[Krishna]] is believed to have stolen the ''Pārijāt flower'' from Indra’s paradise to which act ''pārijāt-harana'' (removal of the ''Pārijāt tree'' from heaven), which has two forms in the [[Harivamsa]], relates; according to the ''[[puranas]]'', at the behest of his wife, [[Satyabhama]], Krishna had uprooted the ''pārijāt tree'' from the ''Nandana-vana'' of Indra and brought it to [[Dwarka]].<ref>{{cite book|title=The Festival of Indra|author=Michael Charles Baltutis|publisher=Proquest|pages=61, 78, 79, 82|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=SoEIwRq67iEC&pg=PA85&dq=parijata&hl=en&sa=X&ei=yKb-VIKMCcKSuAT0woKwBw&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=parijata&f=false}}</ref>

In [[Hindu astrology]], the word, ''Pārijāt'', refers to a [[Raja yoga (Hindu astrology)|Rāja yoga]] based on the [[Planetary dispositors (Hindu astrology)|Planetary Dispositor Principle]]. This planetary combination called Pārijāt yoga arises if the lord of the sign occupied by the lord of the [[Lagna]] (Ascendant) and the lord of the sign occupied by the [[dispositor]] of the lord of the lagna both, or if the lords of the [[Navamsa (astrology)|navāmsas]] occupied by these two lords are situated in a ''kendra'' or a ''trikona'' from the ''lagna-kendra'' in their own or exaltation signs. [[Parasara]] states that the person blessed with [[Parijat yoga]] will be fond of battles, strong-willed, full of determination, fearless, adept and successful, kind-hearted, forgiving and generous, have faith in [[Dharma]] and [[Karmas]], a proud possessor and enjoyer of wealth and comforts and the one who leads a royal life during his or her middle and last part of life.<ref>{{cite book|title= [[Bṛhat Parāśara Horāśāstra]] 2002 Ed.|publisher=Manoj Pocket Books|page=190|quote=Sloka 41&42}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=Three Hundred Important Combinations|author=B.V.Raman|publisher=[[Motilal Banarsidass]]|page=70|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=RAifaE52xPwC&printsec=frontcover&dq=Parijata+Yoga&hl=en&sa=X&ei=hbntUofTEuyM7Aa3i4CgCQ&ved=0CDQQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=Parijata%20Yoga&f=false}}</ref> Pārijāta yoga is a combination of the Parvata yoga and the [[Kahala yoga]]. [[Gautama Buddha]] was blessed with this [[Yoga (Hindu astrology)|yoga]].
