In Hinduism
Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
Source: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammarNāntarīyaka (नान्तरीयक).—Absolutely necessary; being, in a way, inseparable: cf. कश्चि-दन्नार्थी शालिकलापं सतुषं सपलालमाहरति नान्तरीयकत्वात् (kaści-dannārthī śālikalāpaṃ satuṣaṃ sapalālamāharati nāntarīyakatvāt) M. Bh. on P. III. 3.18 on which Kaiyata observes अन्तरशब्दे विनार्थे । अन्तरे भवमन्तरीयम् । तत्र नञ्समासे कृते पृषोदरादित्वाद्भाष्यकारवचन-प्रामाण्याद्वा नलोपाभावः । (antaraśabde vinārthe | antare bhavamantarīyam | tatra nañsamāse kṛte pṛṣodarāditvādbhāṣyakāravacana-prāmāṇyādvā nalopābhāvaḥ |)
Vyakarana (व्याकरण, vyākaraṇa) refers to Sanskrit grammar and represents one of the six additional sciences (vedanga) to be studied along with the Vedas. Vyakarana concerns itself with the rules of Sanskrit grammar and linguistic analysis in order to establish the correct context of words and sentences.
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (philosophy)Nāntarīyaka (नान्तरीयक) or Nāntarīyakārtha refers to “(an object) invariably concomitant”, according to the Utpaladeva’s Vivṛti on Īśvarapratyabhijñākārikā 1.5.8-9.—Accordingly, “[...] So [a valid inference is] an act of realization that is exactly so, [i.e. it is an unfailing means of knowledge with respect to a previously perceived object that it manifests as having a specific place and time]. This is what [the Vṛtti] says [with the words] ‘manifested in the past’, ‘an object invariably concomitant [with this entity]’ (nāntarīyaka-artha) [and] ‘[due to the association of this entity with] this or that [specific] place and time, etc.’”.
Shaiva (शैव, śaiva) or Shaivism (śaivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
