In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
: Indian National Science Academy: Annual Report 2015-16 (ayurveda)Siddhamantra (啶膏た啶︵啶оぎ啶ㄠ啶む啶�) is a short treatise on pharmacology in 膧yurveda that was composed by Ke艣ava, a renowned physician scholar who lived in the 13th century AD. This work is historically important for theoretical innovations that have been put forth by the author to explain drug action with greater clarity and precision. The Siddhamantra is a strikingly terse piece of literary work in which drugs and food articles are classified into 57 categories indicating their impact on the humours (诲辞峁). According to Vopadeva, the commentator [of the Siddhamantra], these nine verses are together known in Sanskrit as the 苍补惫补艣濒辞办颈虅. The enumeration of these substances in these 57 categories is achieved in 169 verses.
In the ancient texts dealing with pharmacology of drugs, the properties of substances are described on the basis of the rasa, 惫墨谤测补 and 惫颈辫腻办补. However, Siddhamantra directly identifies the action of substances on the 诲辞峁s. The work is unique because of the precision in deciphering the action of 诲辞峁s. For instance, the text explains not only whether a substance increases a particular 诲辞峁s but also which other 诲辞峁s it will decrease and which 诲辞峁s it will neither increase nor decrease (耻诲腻蝉墨苍补).
膧yurveda (啶嗋く啷佮ぐ啷嵿さ啷囙う, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. 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.

Sanskrit, also spelled 啶膏啶膏啶曕啶むぎ啷� (蝉补峁僺办峁泃补尘), 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.
