Prasārya (प्रसार्य) refers to the “spreading” (of followers during hunting), according to the Śyainika-śāstra: a Sanskrit treatise dealing with the divisions and benefits of Hunting and Hawking, written by Rājā Rudradeva (or Candradeva) in possibly the 13th century.—Accordingly, “Hunting on horseback (āśvina) represents one of the eight subdivisions of Hunting (mṛgayā). [...] But something should be said in brief about hunting, for the diffusion of its knowledge. [...] In an open space, with followers spread (prasārya) down-wind and acting in concert, the hunting of animals proves an easy success. [...]”.
