Sanskrit dictionary

Āsarita (आसरित).—nt., and niḥsarita, nt.; °taṃ Gaṇḍavyūha 351.18, 19 respectively: the first two of ten ‘bodily conditions’ (śarīrasthā dharmāḥ), the other 8 being cold, heat, hunger, thirst, delight, anger, birth-old-age-diesase-and-death, and pain (pīḍā). Context throws no further light. Interpre- tation of these two terms obscure. Are they somehow related to āsario = saṃmukhāgataḥ Deśīnāmamālā 1.69, and ṇissariaṃ = srastam ibid. 4.40? Something like slack condition, slumped-down state might be intended by niḥsarita; would āsarita be its opposite, a state arrived at the right point?

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!).
