Traditional practice of 膧yurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramAntra (啶呧え啷嵿い啷嵿ぐ) refers to 鈥�(human) entrails鈥�, according to the Dev墨pa帽ca艣atik膩 verse 2.74-79.鈥擜ccordingly: 鈥淥ne should draw the supreme goddess there. She is 艢u峁膩 and, auspicious, her face is emaciated. She has two arms and one face. She has no flesh and no blood (runs through her veins). (Made of just) tendons and bones, her body is thin and she likes (to eat) human entrails [i.e., 苍补谤补-补苍迟谤补-腻诲颈-辫谤颈测腻] and the like constantly. She is seated on Rudra鈥檚 severed head and her feet are placed on two (others). On the left is Vi峁ａ箛u鈥檚 head and on the right that of Indra and her legs are bent. She is the first (of all the deities) and fills (and nourishes all things). [...]鈥�.
Shakta (啶多ぞ啶曕啶�, 艣膩kta) or Shaktism (艣膩ktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
: Brill: 艢aivism and the Tantric TraditionsAntra (啶呧え啷嵿い啷嵿ぐ) refers to the 鈥渋ntestines鈥�, according to the Brahmay膩mala-tantra, T膩ntrik膩bhidh膩nako艣a and Prabodhacandrodaya.鈥�(Cf. 辫补帽肠腻尘峁泃腻办补谤峁峁嘺鈥斺�渆xtraction of the five nectars鈥�).鈥擺...] Other sources also describe K膩p膩likas as making use of various parts of the human body. K膩p膩likas use human flesh (尘补丑腻尘腻峁僺补), brain (尘补蝉迟颈峁补), intestines (antra), fat (惫补蝉腻) and blood (办墨濒腻濒补) in ritual, and drink alcohol (蝉耻谤腻), according to Prabodhacandrodaya 3.13. [...] Now in chapter 46 of the Brahmay膩mala, much like the K膩p膩likas, the practitioner makes ritual use of human flesh, hair (办别艣补), bones (asthi), body fluids (picu), particularly blood (rakta), and intestines (antra); moreover, he offers and drinks alcohol (尘补诲颈谤腻).
Shaiva (啶多啶�, 艣aiva) or Shaivism (艣aivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.

Kecuka and other birds, afraid of the swiftness of the wings of 峁琽苍腻 and others, hiding themselves motionless in bushes, produce the emotion of fear鈥�.
