In Hinduism
Kavya (poetry)
Anurodha (अनुरोध) refers to “esteem” (a favourable attitude) and is mentioned in the Naiṣadha-carita 15.91.

Kavya (काव्य, kavya) refers to Sanskrit poetry, a popular ancient Indian tradition of literature. There have been many Sanskrit poets over the ages, hailing from ancient India and beyond. This topic includes mahakavya, or ‘epic poetry’ and natya, or ‘dramatic poetry’.
In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Anurodha (अनुरोध) refers to “being entreated (with the song)”, according to the 10th-century Ḍākārṇava-tantra: one of the last Tibetan Tantric scriptures belonging to the Buddhist Saṃvara tradition consisting of 51 chapters.—Accordingly, “[...] Then, entreated with the song (gītā-anurodha), Heruka has been aroused spontaneously. ‘oṃ,āh, the body, speech, and mind adamantine hūṃphaṭ hoh’—with recitation of this mantra, [the practitioner] performs the instantaneous transformation: the hero of all (Heruka), with [his consort] Yoginī (Vajravārāhī), by nature, instantly emerge by means of the mantra. [...]”.

Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug. Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha’s words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (vajrayāna) are collected indepently.
