In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Saṅgati (सङ्गति) refers to “association (with women)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.12.—Accordingly, as Śiva said to Himācala (i.e., Himālaya): “[...] A woman is a phase of illusion. As the scholars who have mastered the Vedas say particularly, a young damsel is a hindrance to ascetics. [...] O mountain, by contact with a woman, worldliness springs up; non-attachment perishes and the virtuous penance is destroyed. Hence, O mountain, no ascetic shall have any truck with women [i.e., saṅgati—kāryā strīṣu saṃgatiḥ]. A woman is the root of all worldly attachments. She destroys all wisdom and detachment together”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
Ayurveda (science of life)
Veterinary Medicine (The study and treatment of Animals)
Saṅgati (सङ्गति) refers to “having contact (with the rays of the moon)” (considered favorable for elephants in the summer season), according to the 15th century Mātaṅgalīlā composed by Nīlakaṇṭha in 263 Sanskrit verses, dealing with elephantology in ancient India, focusing on the science of management and treatment of elephants.—[Cf. chapter 11, “34. No taking to the road (travel), active pouring on the head of bags full of water, and anointing the head morning, noon, and night with the butter called ‘hundred-fold purified’; contact with the rays (kara-saṅgati) of the moon [śītāṃśoḥ karasaṅgatiśca], tending with grits mixed with jaggery and butter, a cool stall, play in water and mud—this is the regimen for the summer”.
Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of Āyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.

[Sanskrit to German]
Saṃgati (संगति) in the Sanskrit language is related to the Prakrit word: Saṃgai.
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.
