In Hinduism
Samkhya (school of philosophy)
Sāvayava (सावयव, “organic or combination”).—Anything having organs or parts is generally called sāvayava. Vācaspati explains in Tattvakaumudī the reasons for calling the vyaktas sāvayava. The attribute sāvayava is applicable in case of five subtle elements (five tanmātras), five gross elements (five mahābhūtas) and senses (indriyas), but it is not applicable in case of the relation of the vyaktas Ike buddhi, ahaṃkāra etc. with prakṛti, because there is relation of identity between vyakta and avyakta. The three constituents of prakṛti—sattva, rajas and tamas, also can not join together, because these are eternally non-separable. Naturally, only vyakta can be sāvayava.
Samkhya (सांख्य, Sāṃkhya) is a dualistic school of Hindu philosophy (astika) and is closeley related to the Yoga school. Samkhya philosophy accepts three pramanas (‘proofs’) only as valid means of gaining knowledge. Another important concept is their theory of evolution, revolving around prakriti (matter) and purusha (consciousness).
Shaiva philosophy
Sāvayava (सावयव) refers to “that which has parts”, according to the Vṛtti on the Īśvarapratyabhijñākārikā 1.5.6, 20-21.—Accordingly, “Moreover, [the existence of] the external object is refuted by a means of [valid] knowledge if it has parts (sāvayava), because of [the necessity then] of attributing to it contradictory properties, etc.; [and it is contradicted] in many ways if it has no parts (niravayava), because [then] it must be in contact with the six directions, etc.”.
Shaiva philosophy is a spritiual tradition within Hinduism that includes theories such as the relationship between the Atman (individual soul) and Siva, the nature of liberation (moksha), and the concepts of maya (illusion) and shakti (divine energy). Saiva philosophy teaches that union with Shiva can be achieved through knowledge, devotion, and spiritual practice. It encompasses major branches like Shaiva Siddhanta and Kashmir Shaivism.
Vedanta (school of philosophy)
Sāvayava (सावयव) refers to “that which has parts”.—It represents a keyword in Advaita-Vedānta philosophy mentioned in the glossary attached to “A critical study of Ānandajñāna’s Tarkasaṅgraha (by Satyan Sharma)”.
Vedanta (वेदान्त, vedānta) refers to a school of orthodox Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. There are a number of sub-schools of Vedanta, however all of them expound on the basic teaching of the ultimate reality (brahman) and liberation (moksha) of the individual soul (atman).
