In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSaṃtuṣṭi (संतुष्टि) refers to “propitiation (of Śiva)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.39 (“The gods arrive at Kailāsa”).—Accordingly: as the Sages performed the safety rites for Śiva: “[...] Then the lord of all started from the excellent mountain Kailāsa keeping the Brahmins and the gods ahead. Outside the mountain Kailāsa, Śiva stopped for a while along with the gods and Brahmins receiving different ovations. Then a great jovial festival was celebrated by the gods and others in order to propitiate (saṃtuṣṭi-artha) Śiva. Songs were sung. Instruments were played. Dances were held”.
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.
In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita SastraSaṃtuṣṭi (संतुष्टि) or Saṃtuṣṭa refers to “satsifaction” and represents one of the ten dharmas in the fourth bhūmi, according to the 2nd century Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra chapter XX (2nd series).—Accordingly, “the Bodhisattva who always accumulates the qualities (guṇa) without ever getting tired is “satisfied” (saṃtuṣṭa) when he has attained supreme enlightenment (anuttarā bodhi), for there is no dharma superior to it”—“As for satisfaction (saṃtuṣṭi) in regard to food (piṇḍapāta), clothing (vīvara), beds (śayana), seats (āsana), etc., it is a cause and condition of good dharmas, but, as it does not consider it to be important, the sūtra does not speak of it here”.
Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāSaṃtuṣṭi (संतुष्टि) refers to “being satisfied (with little learning-dharma)”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “[...] Thus he becomes one who subjugates the works of Māra (mārakarman). What then is the subjugation of the works of Māra? That by means of which none of Māra can find a weak point in the Bodhisattva. [...] (27) having a lazy mind thinking that whatever is done by living beings is sufficient is the work of Māra; (28) living in pride with no respect, slanderous speech, having falsehood and fraud, taking pleasure in fabrications, dishonesty, harsh and unpleasant [speech], not criticizing sins, pulling out the root of dharmas, being satisfied with little learning-dharma (alpa-śruta-mātra-saṃtuṣṭi), desire for the non-dharma, not blocking obstructions, interruptions, the uprising [of depravities] are the works of Māra; [...]”.
Mahayana (महायान, mahāyāna) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many sūtras of which some of the earliest are the various Prajñāpāramitā sūtras.
