In Hinduism
Nyaya (school of philosophy)
Source: Shodhganga: A study of Nyāya-vaiśeṣika categoriesAnyonyābhāva (अन्योन्याभाव) refers to “mutual non-existence” and represents one of the four types of abhāva (non-existence) according to Annaṃbhaṭṭa’s Tarkasaṃgraha.—Anyonyābhāva refers to the difference of one thing from another thing. There is different between two things and they are excluded from each other. There is found the abhāva of one as the other. This abhāva is known as anyonyābhāva. For example, a table is not the chair. That means a table does not remain as a chair. The non-existence of a table in a chair and the non-existence of a chair in a table are mutual non-existence (anyonyābhāva). Mutual non-existence has the relation of identity (tādātmya) as its counter correlate.
According to Keśava Miśra, that abhāva which has identity as the counter entity is anyonyābhāva e.g., ghaṭa is not the paṭa, which means ghaṭa does not exist in the paṭa. The knowledge of the abhāva of the ghaṭa depends upon the knowledge of ghaṭa and paṭa. Viśvanātha states in his Nyāyasiddhāntamuktāvalī, that anyonyābhāva, is that the counterpositiveness of which is determined by the relation of identity. Śivāditya defines anyonyābhāva as refusing of identity. Śridhara expresses that the abhāva of a cow in a horse and the abhāva of a horse in a cow are anyonyābhāva, This abhāva is one and eternal. Annaṃbhaṭṭa also uphold similar view and defines anyonyābhāva which has a counter-entity determined by the relation of identity, e.g., jar is not cloth.
Nyaya (न्याय, nyaya) refers to a school of Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. The Nyaya philosophy is known for its theories on logic, methodology and epistemology, however, it is closely related with Vaisheshika in terms of metaphysics.

Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of Āyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramAnyonyabhāva (अन्योन्यभाव) refers to “(separately in) a state in which (each) is exclusive of the other”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, “The Western (transmission) is born from Śāmbhava and the Kula teaching from the Western (transmission). The Southern path (comes) from Kula and from the Southern one (comes) the Northern House. From (that emerges the transmission of) the left, the lineage of oneness, which is all, both with sequence and without. Each one has a differing lion-nature and so exists separately in a state in which (each) is exclusive of the other (anyonyabhāva) in the House of the Four Lineages. [...]”.
Shakta (शाक्त, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.

(-vaḥ) (In the Vaiśeṣika philosophy.) Mutual negation, one of the four divisions of abhāva q. v.; viz. that kind of negation or mutual exclusion which is held to exist between notions that have no property in common; indifference considered as a negation of heterogeneous notions; as if one says: ‘shape’ is not ‘jar’ (‘anyonyābhāvatvaṃ tādātmyasaṃbandhāvacchinnapratiyogitākābhāvatvam’). This notion is different therefore from that of pṛthaktva q. v. E. anyonya and abhāva.
