2) [samayogaḥ] Appropriate interaction of sensory and motor organs with their objects
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.
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric TraditionsSamāyoga (समायोग) refers to “union (with the deity) (through the highest fusion)”, according to the Jayadrathayāmala, Ṣaṭka 1 verse 13.3-18.—Accordingly, “[...] But that initiation which [is performed] after [all experiences that] need to be experienced have waned, that is the piṇḍapātikā (i.e. which causes the dropping of the body). [The Ācārya] should take hold [of the soul] through yoga and expel it with the razor and other fierce mantras in order to bring its union [with the deity] through the highest fusion (parayoga-samāyoga). For this is the [initiation which] bestows liberation immediately”.
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.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramSamāyoga (समायोग) refers to the “union (of Śiva and Śakti)”, according to the Kularatnoddyota, one of the earliest Kubjikā Tantras.—Accordingly, “[...] That is said to be the union (samāyoga) of Śiva and Śakti. There, O goddess, they are also churned together as befits (the act of union). There, O dear one, the male seed and menses, the vital essence (of the god and the goddess) are mixed together. The great and immortal Drop originated there, O fair faced one, energized and shining, (it shone with the) light of tens of millions of suns. [...]”.
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)
Source: OSU Press: Cakrasamvara SamadhiSamāyoga (समायोग) refers to the “union” (of Ālī and Kālī), according to the Ṭīkā Pot Worship [i.e., Kalaśapūjā] 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, “Oṃ Jambhanī, Stambhanī, Mohanī, and Ākarṣaṇī, All works (are) thus a success, by your power of infatuation, Standing in an archer’s pose, with a beautiful flaming crown, Ālī and Kālī united [i.e., ālīkālīsamāyogaṃ], Śrī Saṃvara, the supreme being”.
Source: MDPI Books: The Ocean of HeroesSamāyoga (समायोग) refers to the “complete union (of all heroes)”, one of the last Tibetan Tantric scriptures belonging to the Buddhist Saṃvara tradition consisting of 51 chapters.—Exegetically, the term “ Ḍākārṇava” has multiple meanings. The literal, and possibly basic meaning, is “Ocean of Ḍākas”. In the closing verses of the chapters in the Ḍākārṇava, the Lord or Blessed One is described as having the nature of “the complete union (samāyoga) of all heroes” [sarvavīrasamāyogād], which is equivalent in meaning to the “Ocean of Ḍākas”.
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.

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.
