In Hinduism
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Source: Wisdom Library: Nāṭya-śāstraAnuvādī (अनुवादी, “assonant”) is an alternative spelling for anuvādin, which refers to one of the four classes of musical notes (svara), according to the Nāṭyaśāstrahapter chapter 28. Accordingly, “as a note prominently sounds it is called sonant (vādin); as it sounds in cosonance with another it is consonant (saṃvādin); as it sounds discordantly to another it is dissonant (vivādin), and as it follows another note it is called assonant (anuvādin). These notes become low or high according to the adjustment of the strings, and the varying condition (lit. diversity) of the beam of the vīṇā and of the sense-organs”.

(Saṅgitamakaranda 2.7) The notes of a mode that are neither “sonant” (vādī), nor “consonant” (saṃvādī) are called “assonant” (anuvādī): “By those who see the subtle cause of things the note that is neither the sonant nor the consonant and yet is not ‘dissonant’ (vivādī) is called assonant (anuvādī)”. (Saṅgītapārijāta 81-83)
