In Hinduism
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Āsārita (आसारित) refers to one of the nine preliminaries performed behind the stage curtain, according to the Nāṭyaśāstra chapter 5. Accordingly, “The āsārita is meant for practising the division of kalās (kalābhāga).”
Natyashastra (नाट्यशास्त्र, nāṭyaśāstra) refers to both the ancient Indian tradition (shastra) of performing arts, (natya—theatrics, drama, dance, music), as well as the name of a Sanskrit work dealing with these subjects. It also teaches the rules for composing Dramatic plays (nataka), construction and performance of Theater, and Poetic works (kavya).

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?
Āsārita (आसारित) in the Sanskrit language is related to the Prakrit word: Āsāriya.
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
