In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationBhāsita (भासित) refers to “having said”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.24 (“Śiva consents to marry Pārvatī”).—Accordingly, as Viṣṇu said to Śiva: “O Śiva, all the gods have come here to submit to you their misery perpetrated mysteriously by Tāraka. O Śiva, the demon Tāraka will be killed only by your self-begotten son and not otherwise. Ponder over what I have said [i.e., bhāsita] and take pity on me. Obeisance, O great lord, to you. O lord, redeem the gods from the misery brought about by Tāraka. Hence, O lord Śiva, Pārvatī shall be accepted by you and grasped with your right hand. Accept her hand as offered in marriage by the lord of mountains. She is full of noble attributes”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchBhāṣita (भाषित) refers to “that which has been spoken”, according to the Niśvāsakārikā (Jñānakāṇḍa verse 12.162-63).—Accordingly: “When a Brahmin, Kṣatriya, Vaiśya or Śūdra is a knower of the highest reality, [then] no distinction exists [between them], just as no division exists [between] fire placed in fire, milk in milk [or] water poured into water. [This] truth has been spoken by Śiva (īśvara-bhāṣita)”.
Yoga is originally considered a branch of Hindu philosophy (astika), but both ancient and modern Yoga combine the physical, mental and spiritual. Yoga teaches various physical techniques also known as āsanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).

Thus the Buddha said in the Vinaya: “What is the buddhadharma? The buddhadharma is that which has been spoken by five kinds of people: 1. that which the Buddha himself has spoken (buddha-bhāṣita); 2. that which the disciples of the Buddha have spoken (śrāvaka-bhāṣita); 3. that which the sages have said (ṛṣi-bhāṣita); 4. that which has been said by the gods (deva-bhāṣita); 5. that which apparitional beings have spoken (upapāduka-bhāṣita)’.”.

They fell at the feet of the Bhagavān and said, “O Bhagavān, extremely dreadful mantrapadas have been uttered. [...]’”.

Source: OSU Press: Cakrasamvara SamadhiBhāṣita (भाषित) refers to “having spoken (the dharma)”, according to the Guru Mandala Worship (maṇḍalārcana) ritual often performed in combination with the Cakrasaṃvara Samādhi, which refers to the primary pūjā and sādhanā practice of Newah Mahāyāna-Vajrayāna Buddhists in Nepal.—Accordingly, “Homage to the guru Buddha, homage to the protecting Dharma, Homage to the great Sangha, and to all three, constant homage. I bow to all Buddhas, and to the dharma spoken by the Buddha (jina-bhāṣita), And to the Sangha perfected in virtue, I bow to the three jewels”.
Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug. Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha’s words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (vajrayāna) are collected indepently.
