Anusaraṇa (अनुसरण) refers to “pursuing (the quarry)” (in or out of sight), according to the Śyainika-śāstra: a Sanskrit treatise dealing with the divisions and benefits of Hunting and Hawking, written by Rājā Rudradeva (or Candradeva) in possibly the 13th century.—Accordingly, [while discussing the outlines of hawking]: “[...] Attacks are of three kinds, upwards, horizontal and downwards. All three attacks are very enjoyable when the Vājas attack the Varajas. [...] Horizontal attack means pursuing (anusaraṇa) the quarry in sight or out of sight, in the same plane, and striking it like a club. [...]”.
