Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)

Source: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram

Saṃjñābheda (संज्ञाभेद) refers to “diverse names”, according to Tantric texts such as the Kubjikāmata-tantra, the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, as the Goddess (i.e., Kubjikā) said to Karālī:—“[...] You will have ten fearsome daughters and these ten (will) possess the most excellent qualities and higher bliss (uttarānanda). O fair lady, you will have six attendants in (your) entourage and the race of (your) fierce (karālī) daughters (will possess) the equal oneness of the bliss of the Command. (These) lords (īśvara) will generate the higher bliss (uttarānanda) in each Age, and when the fall from (true) knowledge comes to an end (they will create other teachers) again and again with diverse names (saṃjñābheda) and, O Karālī, they will be in your lineage by (the grace of) my Command”.

General definition (in Jainism)

Source: academia.edu: The Original Paṇhavāyaraṇa/Praśnavyākaraṇa Discovered

Saṃjñābheda (संज्ञाभेद) refers to the “names and varieties (of living beings)”, as taught in the Paṇhavāgaraṇa (Sanskrit: Praśnavyākaraṇa): the tenth Anga of the Jain canon which deals with the prophetic explanation of queries regarding divination.—The Praśnavyākaraṇa deals with the praśnavidyā in a rather complex way. It is divided into at least 33 short chapters [e.g., jīva-saṃjñābheda-prakaraṇa], some of which are further divided into sub-chapters. Some contents of the text, mainly those related with articulation and pronunciation can have significance far beyond the scope of the praśnavidyā.

context information

Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
