In Hinduism
Shaiva philosophy
Antarvartin (अन्तर्वर्तिन्) refers to “that which is located inside (the house)”, according to the Vṛtti on the Īśvarapratyabhijñāvivṛtivimarśinī 2.165.—Accordingly, “In ‘To this [objection we] reply …,’ [Utpaladeva] answers [the objection] with [the following] in mind. The externality of the pot is not thus one [and the same whether it is considered] with respect to the village or with respect to consciousness; for that which is external to consciousness consists in that which is not consciousness, whereas that which is external to the house does not consist in that which is not a house! For if that were the case, a particular element of the house—such as a wall—or a pot, for example, although it is located inside the house (gṛha-antarvartin), should be external to the house [since they are not the house itself]; and it is not so.
Shaiva philosophy is a spritiual tradition within Hinduism that includes theories such as the relationship between the Atman (individual soul) and Siva, the nature of liberation (moksha), and the concepts of maya (illusion) and shakti (divine energy). Saiva philosophy teaches that union with Shiva can be achieved through knowledge, devotion, and spiritual practice. It encompasses major branches like Shaiva Siddhanta and Kashmir Shaivism.
Kama-shastra (the science of Love-making)
Antarvartin (अन्तर्वर्तिन्) refers to “having taken shelter” (to avoid persecution), according to chapter 1.5 of Vātsyāyana’s Kāmasūtra: a Sanskrit text from the 2nd century dealing with eroticism, sexuality and emotional fulfillment in life belonging to Kāmaśāstra (the ancient Indian science of love-making).—Accordingly, “Goṇikāputra has expressed an opinion that there is a fourth kind of Nāyikā, viz. [Pākṣikī:] a woman who is resorted to on some special occasion even though she be previously married to another. These special occasions are when a man thinks thus: ‘By the help of this woman I shall kill an enemy of the king, who has taken shelter (antarvartin) with her, and whom I am ordered by the king to destroy’ [rājaniyogāccāntarvartinaṃ śatruṃ vāsya nirhaniṣyāmi]. [...]”.
Kamashastra (कामशास्त्र, kāmaśāstra) deals with ancient Indian science of love-making, passion, emotions and other related topics dealing with the pleasures of the senses.
