In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram1) Saṃdoha (संदोह) refers to “meeting grounds”, according to the Śrīmatottara-tantra, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, as Bhairava says to the Goddess:—“First generate in the land of Bhārata the astonishing emanation of (your) mind, namely, (every kind of) sacred seat (i.e., pīṭha), primary and secondary, (every kind of) meeting ground (saṃdoha), (every) primary and secondary sacred field, the confluence of rivers, the cremation ground(s), crossroad(s) and forest(s), lake(s), valley(s), and cave(s). (Create) many (such) places (where) Siddhas (practice) (siddhasthāna), the many kinds of sacred bathing places (tīrtha) and the rest [...]”
The first saṃdoha of the Yoginīs was emanated near to Śrīgiri and the second near the town of Ujjayinī. The others are Trikūṭa, Tripura, Gopura, Bhadrakarṇa ([Manuscript] Kh: Bhadrakaṣṭa; [Manuscript] G: Bhadrakīrṇa), Kirāta, the region of Kaśmīra, Sauvala (kh: Sauvara, g: Śaivāla) and Sindhudeśa.—(cf. Śrīmatottara verse 3.135-138).
Note: The terms saṃdoha and upasaṃdoha are of uncertain derivation. They are also terms in common usage in the Buddhist Tantras in this or a similar form (such as chandoha). See Hevajratantra verse 1.7.10-18. Jayaratha derives the term from the root saṃduh, meaning to milk, suck, or ooze (milk). Thus he says that: a saṃdohaka (is what has been milked) because it consists mainly of the exuded secretion of the secondary seats.
2) Saṃdoha (संदोह) refers to “essence”, according to the Jayadrathayāmala verse 1.12.456-459.—Accordingly, “By reflecting on ultimate reality, (the energy of the goddess) wanders throughout the whole universe, including the gods, demons and men as the division of pervasion and the pervader. Through the Yoga (lit. ‘union’), by means of which (this energy) is checked (and so appropriated); and by the unfolding of its essential nature, the yogi becomes of that nature, endowed with the very essence [i.e., saṃdoha] of accomplishment. By attaining oneness in this way, Yoga—Āṇava, Śākta and Śāmbhava—has been explained, which illumines the meaning of the teacher’s (instruction)”.
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 SamadhiSaṃdoha (संदोह) refers to “abundant” (omniscient knowledge), 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, “Oṃ abundant omniscient knowledge (sarvajñajñāna-saṃdoha), gladdening for the world's sake, Come forth like a wish fulfilling gem, Śrī Saṃvara, I give homage”.
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.

Note: sandoha is defined in the “Indian epigraphical glossary” as it can be found on ancient inscriptions commonly written in Sanskrit, Prakrit or Dravidian languages.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
