Āsādana (आसादन) refers to “sitting (on a couch)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.18 (“Description of the perturbation caused by Kāma”).—Accordingly, after Śiva spoke to Pārvatī: “Thus resuming detachment, lord Śiva forbade her sitting on the couch [i.e., paryaṅka-āsādana]. How can there be a downfall for the great lord Śiva?”.

In Jainism

General definition (in Jainism)

Source: Wisdom Library: Jainism

Āsādana (आसादन, “disregard”) refers to “disregard of true knowledge” and it is one of the causes leading to the influx (āsrana) of karmas which obscure knowledge and perception.

Āsādana is a Sanskrit technical term defined in the Tattvārthasūtra (ancient authorative Jain scripture) from the 2nd century, which contains aphorisms dealing with philosophy and the nature of reality.

Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being.
