In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
: Google Books: The Alchemical BodyMātṛkabhedatantra (मातृकभेदतन्त्र) is the name of a text related to Rasaśāstra (Indian alchemy) from the tenth century.—There exists a sizable corpus of works on Tantric sorcery—works that may be classified under the general heading of Kriyā Tantras—which include chapters on or references to alchemical preparations and procedures. A final text belongs to a category all its own. This is the ca. thirteenth-century Mātṛkabhedatantra, a Śākta-Śaiva work on the Tantric worship of Śiva and the Goddess, whose first, fifth, and eighth chapters contain original alchemical data mainly pertaining to the fabrication of mercurial ṅg.

Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of Āyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
: Notices of Sanskrit Manuscripts: Volume 12 (1898) (shai)ṛk岹ٲԳٰ (मातृकाभेदतन्त्�) refers to one of the Tantras mentioned in the Ѳ峾ǰṣa-ղԳٰ, a Sanskrit manuscript collected in volume 12 of the catalogue “Notices of Sanskrit Manuscripts (second series)� by Mahamahopadhyaya Haraprasad Shastri.—The Mahāmokṣatantra manuscript, consisting of 3,024 ślokas (metrical verses), is deposit: Dhaka, Vikramapura Majhapada, Babu Rasavihari Raya. It deals with the salvation, cosmogony (i.e., the order of cosmic regions) and contains a bibliography of Tantric literature.—The catalogue includes the term—Mātṛkābheda-tantra in its ‘subject-matter list� or Viṣaya (which lists topics, chapters and technical terms).

Shaiva (शै�, śaiva) or Shaivism (śaivism) 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.
