I'm hoping someone can help me understand the two (or three) different words I've found for the translation of "Contentment" or "Satisfaction" using the various English to Sanskrit websites frequently posted on this site. In the yoga sutras that I study, the word is "Santosha", but I have alternately found both "Santoshha" and "Samtosa"...

Also, I have been looking for the proper translation into Sanskrit script and have found two slightly different translations: Can anyone identify which is correct or what the difference in meaning is between the two? Thanks in advance for your help!

संतोष
The first word is the correct word.
The second word is grammatically incorrect.
