In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsSarvatyāga (सर्वत्याग) refers to the “concept of selflessly dedicating oneself to the goddess”, as discussed in chapter 16 of the Lakṣmītantra: a Pāñcarātra text comprising some 3600 Sanskrit verses exclusively devoted to Goddess Lakṣmī or Śrī (the consort of Viṣṇu) besides dealing with cosmology and practical regarding Vaishnava priests and temple-building programs.—Description of the chapter [upāyaprakāra-nivaraṇa]: This chapter continues to discuss what the foregoing chapter began. Continuing the ultimate category of saṃkhyā-knowledge, there is a discussion of the mahat-tattva (1-4), followed by an explanation of the evolution of ahaṃkāra-tattva (5-25). [...] The final thing taken up is a further expansion on the sarvatyāga-concept of selflessly dedicating oneself to the Goddess (42-43).
Pancaratra (पाञ्चरात्र, pāñcarātra) represents a tradition of Hinduism where Narayana is revered and worshipped. Closeley related to Vaishnavism, the Pancaratra literature includes various Agamas and tantras incorporating many Vaishnava philosophies.
In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāSarvatyāga (सर्वत्याग) refers to “giving everything”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “Then, the Lord went on to speak these verses: ‘(33) Although they give everything (sarvatyāga), they are not unhappy, and in that [generosity], they are not dejected and despondent. Thus they meditate on the dharmas being just as open space (gagana), and there is no elation or dejection. [...]’”.
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.
