In Hinduism

Shaiva philosophy

Sambandhayogya (सम्बन्धयोग्य) refers to “that which is capable of connecting (with all things)”, according to Bhaṭṭa Rāmakaṇṭha’s 10th-century Tattvatrayanirṇayavivṛti—a commentary on the 7th-century Tattvatrayanirṇaya by Sadyojyoti which discusses philosophical aspects of Śiva including the theories of Puruṣas (souls), Māyā (primal matter) and Mala (the innate impurity afflicting souls).—Accordingly, [commenting on verse 7] “The group of properties of souls too, as is the case of Śiva’s properties, is capable of connecting with all things (sarvārtha-sambandhayogya), since it is the [very] nature [of souls] to know and to do. [Objection:] if they too possessed this [group of properties], just as Īśvara does, then [there would be] the corollary that everybody would be omniscient and omnipotent. True, but because that group of qualities in souls is beginninglessly obstructed by impurity, that corollary does not apply. [...]”.
