In Hinduism

Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

1) Sañjāta (सञ्जात) refers to the “arousal (of a particular emotion)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.19 (“Kāma’s destruction by Śiva”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Naradā: “After thinking like this, the great Yogin, the goal of the good, surveyed all round, his suspicion having been aroused. He saw Kāma stationed on His left side with his bow fully drawn and ready to discharge the arrow. Kāma was haughty and so was very senseless. O Nārada, on seeing Kāma in that attitude, instantaneously anger was aroused [i.e., sañjāta] in lord Śiva, the supreme soul. [...]”.

2) Saṃjāta (संजात) refers to “arousing (one’s dormant passions)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.23 (“Outraging the modesty of Vṛndā”).—Accordingly, after Viṣṇu (in disguise) tricks Vṛnda (wife of Jalandhara): “[...] Delighted in the heart and with all the dormant passions kindled up (saṃjāta-hṛcchayā), she [=Vṛndā] sported with him [=Jalandhara] for many days in the middle of that forest. Once at the end of the sexual intercourse she realised that it was Viṣṇu. Vṛndā rebuked him angrily and spoke thus”.
