In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationAnujñāta (अनुज्ञात) (Cf. Abhyanujñāta) refers to “that which is permitted”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.13 (“Śiva-Pārvatī dialogue”).—Accordingly, after Himācala (i.e., Himālaya) spoke to Śiva: “Thus addressed by Himavat, Śiva, the benefactor of the worlds, laughingly permitted him to go. Permitted [i.e., abhi-anujñāta] by Śiva, Himavat returned to his abode along with Pārvatī. He wanted to visit Him daily. Even without her father but accompanied by her maids, Pārvatī approached Śiva everyday for serving Him with devotion. [...]”.
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: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāAnujñāta (अनुज्ञात) refers to “(that which is) instructed (by the Lord)”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “[...] Then, the bodhisatva, the great being, Gaganagañja addressed himself to the Lord: ‘[...] (9-14) [How do the Bodhisattvas] never forsake the recollection of the Buddha, the dharma, the saṃgha, renunciation, morality, and gods which are instructed by the Lord (buddha-anujñāta)? (15) [How do the Bodhisattvas] perform his practice of a Bodhisattva after having obtained the equality of liberation? (16) [How do the Bodhisattvas] know the characteristics of the behaviour of all living beings? [...]’”.
Source: De Gruyter: A Buddhist Ritual Manual on AgricultureAnujñāta (अनुज्ञात) refers to the “authorization (of the Tathāgata’s words)”, according to the Vajratuṇḍasamayakalparāja, an ancient Buddhist ritual manual on agriculture from the 5th-century (or earlier), containing various instructions for the Sangha to provide agriculture-related services to laypeople including rain-making, weather control and crop protection.—Accordingly [as the Nāgas requested the Bhagavān for help], “O Bhagavān, extremely dreadful mantrapadas have been uttered. [...] By mere recollection we will keep off excessive rain. We will not break the authorization (anujñāta) of the Tathāgata’s words. Moreover, O Bhagavān, we will give the curse dhāraṇī-mantrapadas. [...]”.
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.

Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
