Samanvita (समन्वित) refers to “accompanying”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.18 (“Description of the perturbation caused by Kāma”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated: “On seeing the untimely display of spring, Śiva the lord, who had assumed a physical body indulging in divine sports, thought it surprising. But He, the chief of the self-controlled and the remover of man’s misery continued his severe penance. When spring spread everywhere, Kāma accompanied by Rati [i.e., rati-samanvita] stood on his left side, with the arrow of mango blossom taken out and kept in readiness. [...]”.

I will speak to the question that remains in your heart. All the innumerable Mantras, on all occasions, have the majesty of Śiva and Śakti, all are endowed with Śakti (sarva-śakti-samanvita), all grant rewards and liberation, and [all] are nourished by one's own Śakti. However, the highest Deva is tranquil, in possession of imperceptible guṇas, [namely] Śiva who consists of all, who is pure, and who is to be understood as unsurpassed. [...]

Abandoning all such feelings as ‘this is [my] mantra’, ‘this is [my] deity’, ‘this is [my] meditation’ [or] ‘this is [my] austerity’, he should meditate on his own [inner] state. [...]”.

And what else is there? He should be worshipped along with (samanvita) the Kukārā Vidyā. This is the connection (between the words) with what was said before. [...]”..
