In Hinduism
Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
Source: Shodhganga: Vaiyākaraṇabhūṣaṇasāra: a critical studySāmānādhikaraṇya (सामानाधिकरण्य).—The state in which the words are used with the same case-endings although the gender and number sometimes differ.
Source: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammarSāmānādhikaraṇya (सामानाधिकरण्य).—Standing in apposition; the word is used many times in its literal sense ' having the same substratum.' For instance, in घटं करोति देवदत्तः (ghaṭaṃ karoti devadattaḥ), the personal ending ति (ti) and देवदत्त (devadatta) are said to be समानाधिकरण (samānādhikaraṇa). The Samanadhikarana words are put in the same case although, the gender and number sometimes differ. See the word समानाधिकरण (samānādhikaraṇa).
Source: wikipedia: Vyakarana (grammar)Sāmānādhikaraṇya (सामानाधिकरण्य) in Sanskrit grammar refers to “appositional (or syntactic) relationship with agreement in gender, number, etc.”.
Sāmānādhikaraṇya according to Bhartṛhari:
- between meanings (characterized by the fact that one and the same substance is understood as having different aspects),
- between words (characterized by the fact that one and the same substance is referred to by different words);
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.
Vedanta (school of philosophy)
Source: Swami Krishnananda: The Philosophy of the PanchadasiSāmānādhikaraṇya (सामानाधिकरण्य) refers to the “identity of one thing with another that can be known only when the obstructing characters of the things identified are removed”.—Accordingly, [question]: How does one know that one is Brahman when Jiva-hood is destroyed? It is quite obvious, because, knowledge is not the prerogative of the Jiva, and as a matter of fact, it is only a semblance of knowledge. It shines, in fact, in borrowed feathers, and has no consciousness of its own. The identity of the Jiva with Brahman is established by a method known as Samana-Adhikaranya, which means the identity of one thing with another that can be known only when the obstructing characters of the things identified are removed. In the present case it means the union of the Jiva with Brahman, not literally in its present form, but essentially after the Jiva is divested of its limiting features such as the three bodies; but the identity of the Kutasha-Atman with Brahman is direct and primary, and, hence, it is called Mukhya-Samanadhikaranya, or primary identity, like the identity of space within a vessel with the all-pervading space.
Source: WikiPedia: VedantaSāmānādhikaraṇya (सामानाधिकरण्य) in Hindu philosophy refers to a “common reference of two words in an expression each by itself applying to a different object”.—Sāmānādhikaraṇya is of four kinds according to Candraśekhara’s commentary on the Vivekacūḍāmaṇi:
(i) bādhāyam sāmānādhikaraṇyam, which relates to bhrānti or delusion arising from error of perception; it refers to the state of mind after the delusion has been removed,
(ii) adhyāse sāmānādhikaraṇyam, which applies to the common reference of the super-imposed (āropita) and the substratum (adhisthāna); Adhyasa is the idea of a thing in what is not that thing that may arise in some places from external defects and in others from one’s own supposition; it refers to the state of the mind during the pendency of the delusion,
(iii) viśesane sāmānādhikaraṇyam, which arises when an object designated by a common noun is particularised by qualifying the noun by an adjective as between (a) the quality and the bearer of the quality, (b) the genus and the species, and (c) the qualification and the qualified, and (d) the part and the whole, and
(iv) aikye sāmānādhikaraṇyam relates to the removal of the apparent contradiction between two individuals or things identified by two or more words used in juxtaposition indicating an identity between their references.
Vedanta (वेदान्त, vedānta) refers to a school of orthodox Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. There are a number of sub-schools of Vedanta, however all of them expound on the basic teaching of the ultimate reality (brahman) and liberation (moksha) of the individual soul (atman).

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.
