In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Toxicology (Study and Treatment of poison)
: Shodhganga: Kasyapa Samhita鈥擳ext on Visha Chikitsa痴颈峁惫补颈诲测补 (啶掂た啶粪さ啷堗う啷嵿く) or 痴颈峁惫颈诲测腻 refers to the ancient Indian study of Toxicology.鈥擵edas, being the fountainhead of all our knowledge and culture, it is but inevitable that Toxicology, variously reckoned as Agadatantra, or Sarpavidy膩 or 痴颈峁惫颈诲测腻 [i.e., 痴颈峁惫补颈诲测补]鈥攊s also sourced from the 峁歡veda and Atharva veda. Snakes, in general are venomous and hence a study of sarpas presupposes a knowledge of 惫颈峁惫颈诲测腻鈥攁lso known as 驳腻谤耻岣嵞玽颈诲测腻. [...]
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.
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
: OAPEN: Reverberations of Dharmak墨rti鈥榮 Philosophy (sh)痴颈峁惫补颈诲测补 (啶掂た啶粪さ啷堗う啷嵿く) refers to a 鈥渢oxicologist鈥�, according to Sarvaj帽膩nottara Vidy膩p膩da 8-9.鈥擯oison was a stock example for the Saiddh膩ntikas. In the Sarvaj帽膩nottara we read: 鈥淛ust as the toxicologist (惫颈峁惫补颈诲测补), through the power of visualizations and seed-mantras, effects the removal of poison, so the 膧c膩rya effects a disjunction with the bonds through 艢aiva [initiation] rituals. Just as a suppression of poison [takes place] by the power of mantras and herbs, so there takes place a suppression of all bonds through initiation鈥�.
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.
