In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric TraditionsDvayin (द्वयिन्) refers to a “twofold state”, according to the Īśvarapratyabhijñāvimarśinī III.2.12.—Accordingly, “This twofold state (dvayin) of one who is liberated while living is called samāveśa in the scriptures. For complete entering is itself primary in each of these; other teachings are [only] for its attainment”.
