In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Nityayukta (नित्ययुक्त) refers to “(being) united with the eternal”, according to the Svacchandatantra.—Accordingly, [possibly a variant of verse 2.142 or 2.142cd-143ab—“[Only] the mantras of a man who is united with the eternal (nityayukta), that is, one who has realized he is Bhairava, are successful, O Goddess”.
Nityayukta (नित्ययुक्त) refers to “being ever joined (with God)”, according to the Pātravidhi—a manual of the Lakulīśa Pāśupata school of Śaivism dealing with purification of the initiate’s vessel (pātra) and other concerned issues.—Accordingly, “If a non-ascetic earns his livelihood in the disguise of an ascetic, he takes the sin of all ascetics, and goes to hell because of that. (20) Even if someone commits thousands of wrongs, if, in [various] rebirths, he resorted to Rudra, the benefactor of happiness, with disposition, and ever joined with (nityayukta) [the god], he does not sink. (21)”.
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.

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.
