Saṃtṛpti (संतृप्ति) refers to a “kindred satisfaction”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.5 (“The Tripuras are fascinated).—Accordingly, as Arihan said to the Lord of the Three Cities: “O ruler of the Asuras, listen to my statement, pregnant with wisdom. It is the essence of the Vedānta and bears high esoteric importance. [...] Taking in water and foodstuffs to the required quantity, all living beings derive a kindred satisfaction (saṃtṛpti), neither more nor less. After drinking water we are gladly relieved of thirst. Others too are equally relieved. There is no deviation this way or that. There may be a thousand damsels of exquisite beauty and comely features. But only one of them can be used at a time for the sexual intercourse. [...]”.
