In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Sahitā (सहिता) refers to “she who is accompanied (by the Goddess Bhagavatī)”, 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, “She who is KLĪṂ, the goddess Klinnā, accompanied (sahitā) by the Goddess (bhagavatī) and endowed with the consciousness of the Command is Vakrā whose form is the Triangle. Supreme with (the sacred energy of the) nasal (letters in her Vidyā), she is Parā, the foremost knowledge. She has three eyes. (As) the Sun and Moon she shines as the Ray (of divine light), and is the goddess called Ciñciṇī. I praise her, she who residing in the Void, is the goddess whose eyes are the Sun and Moon and consists of thirty-two syllables”.
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.
In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Sahita (सहित) refers to the “unity” (of cow-dung and water), according to the Guru Mandala Worship (maṇḍalārcana) ritual often performed in combination with the Cakrasaṃvara Samādhi, which refers to the primary pūjā and sādhanā practice of Newah Mahāyāna-Vajrayāna Buddhists in Nepal.—Accordingly, “Charity (is) cow dung and water united (sahita), moral conduct and cleansing, Patience, taking away tiny ants, heroism, bringing forth the religious rite. Meditation, single-minded in each moment, wisdom, splendidly clear lines, These perfections, six indeed are gained, having made the Muni’s maṇḍala”.
Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug. Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha’s words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (vajrayāna) are collected indepently.
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Sahita (सहित) refers to the “possessed (of the fire of anger)”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Alone [the living soul] who is very wise becomes a god [like] a bee on a lotus [like] the face of a woman . Alone, being cut by swords, he appropriates a hellish embryo. Alone the one who is ignorant, driven by the fire of anger, etc. [com.—kopāgni-sahita—‘possessed of the fire of anger’], does action. Alone [the living soul] enjoys the empire of knowledge in the avoidance of all mental blindness. [Thus ends the reflection on] solitariness”.
Synonyms: Kalita.
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.

Sanskrit dictionary
Sahita (सहित).—a.
1) Accompanied or attended by, together with, united or associated with; पवनाग्निसमागमो ह्ययं सहितं ब्रह्म यदस्त्रतेजसा (pavanāgnisamāgamo hyayaṃ sahitaṃ brahma yadastratejasā) R.8.4.
2) Borne, endured.

Sahita (सहित).—adj. (1) (= Pali id.) of speech, connected, coherent, sensible: Mahāvyutpatti 474 (°tā, of Buddha's speech); sahitaṃ ca bhūtaṃ (true) ca sadā prabhāṣate Saddharmapuṇḍarīka 373.4; sahitaṃ…sumadhuraṃ…abravīt Mahāvastu i.145.7 = 201.7 = ii.5.2 (Senart i.490 wrongly kindly, agreeable); Mūla-Sarvāstivāda-Vinaya ii.174.2 (read) tavāsahitam, mama sahitam; (2) of hair and eyebrows, in sahita-bhrū Lalitavistara 107.8 and sahita-keśa 12, both in list of anuvyañjana of the Buddha (Senart also reads sahita-keśa in Mahāvastu ii.44.10, but read with mss. ahasita-keśa, q.v.); Tibetan Lalitavistara both times mñam pa = even, which usually renders Sanskrit sama and has both mgs., alike, and level, flat, smooth; probably therefore with smooth (orig. connected, so close-growing; perhaps thick?) eyebrows and hair. These terms seem to be substitutions for, and roughly equivalent to, ślakṣṇa-bhrū and -keśa of other texts (Nos. 65 and 76 of my list of anuvyañjana), both of which are lacking in Lalitavistara. In Pali, Therīg. 254, sahita is used of a young woman's hair compared to a grove: kānanaṃ va sahitaṃ (commentary 210.7 ghanasaṃnivesaṃ uddham eva uṭṭhita-uddhadīghasākhaṃ upavanaṃ viya; in accordance with this Mrs. Rhys Davids renders dense).
