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”.
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.
Kavya (poetry)
Saṃjāta (संजात) refers to “having grown”, according to Bāṇa’s Kādambarī (p. 226).—There are apparently several Tantric rites that Bāṇa pejoratively associates with the priest: [...] “he had written down the [work known as ] the ‘Doctrine of Mahākāla’ instructed to him by a withered Mahāpāśupata mendicant”; “he was one in whom the disease of talking about [finding] treasure had arisen”; “in him the wind [disease] of alchemy had grown (saṃjāta)”; “he entertained the deluded desire of becoming the lover of a Yakṣa maiden”.
Kavya (काव्य, kavya) refers to Sanskrit poetry, a popular ancient Indian tradition of literature. There have been many Sanskrit poets over the ages, hailing from ancient India and beyond. This topic includes mahakavya, or ‘epic poetry’ and natya, or ‘dramatic poetry’.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Saṃjāta (संजात) refers to “being born (into a particular family)” [?], according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, “O divine bliss! Beautiful radiant energy! O immortal one! O consciousness of Bhairavī! Be victorious! Be victorious! O you who are the first (of all the goddesses) and divine! (You) who have descended into Dakṣa’s sacrifice and was born (saṃjāta) in the family of the Himalaya. You, O Kulā, are called Kālikā to whom the gods bow. O Mother! Protect me always, (you who are) the mother of the three worlds, the skyfaring goddess called Carcikā”.
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.
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Sañjāta (सञ्जात) refers to the “arising” (of the no-mind state), according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] [Now], I will teach the practice of that, which produces absorption. [...] When the highest reality has approached [him], the no-mind [state] is brought forth. When the no-mind [state] has arisen (sañjāta), dissolution of thinking, [ego, etc.] occurs. [...]”.
Yoga is originally considered a branch of Hindu philosophy (astika), but both ancient and modern Yoga combine the physical, mental and spiritual. Yoga teaches various physical techniques also known as āsanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).
Ayurveda (science of life)
Veterinary Medicine (The study and treatment of Animals)
1) Sañjāta (सञ्जात) refers to the “production (of seed)”, 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 5, “on marks of the stages of life”]: “11. Producing seed (sañjāta-śukla) upon jumping (the cow), stout-limbed, with erect penis, firmly grown teeth, rich in fire and strength, eating with relish, gladdening the herd, in the tenth year he is a vikka”.
2) Sañjāta (सञ्जात) refers to the “birth” (of an elephant).—[Cf. chapter 6, “on determination of measurements”]: “2. The length of an elephant of the ‘deer’ caste just after birth (sañjāta) is a hasta and a half, and he is said to be a kara (=hasta) high ; his girth is two hastas. And five aṅgulas is said to be their annual growth up to the tenth year”.
3) Sañjāta (सञ्जात) refers to the “development” (of an elephants’ vigor).—[Cf. chapter 11, “On the keeping of elephants and their daily and seasonal regimen”]: “29. In the winter season, when the rays of the sun are frosty cold, he eats shrubs, creepers, and tendrils in which vigor and sap are developed (sañjāta); [sañjātavīryarasagulmalatāpratānabhojī tuṣāraśiśirārkakare himartau] with eagerness for play in mud, dust, and water, the elephant generally manifests an accumulation of phlegm rather (than the other humors)”.
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.
In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Saṃjāta (संजात) refers to “(having) arisen” (of the four seeds), 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 in the middle of mantra inhabited ground, arisen (saṃjāta) of the four seeds, yaṃ, etc., a maṇḍala of the great elements, wind, fire, water, and earth, Above that, (arising from) the letter suṃ, is the merumaṇḍala, Above that, on a jeweled lion-throne, lotus, and a lunar-disc, Śrī Vajrasattva, two arms, one face, white color, Holding a vajra (and) vajra-bell, (and) adorned wearing various colors, Bearing a monk’s headdress, (and) a sapphire Akṣobhya adorned crown, Thus imagine the worshipful guru[...]”.
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.
