In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: Wisdom Library: 膧yurveda and botanyYavaka (啶さ啶�) is a Sanskrit word for a species of rice (艣腻濒颈) which is said to have an inferior quality, according to Caraka in his Carakasa峁僪it膩 s奴trasth膩na (chapter 27), a classical Ayurvedic work. The literal translation of the word is 鈥渂eing of the nature of barley鈥�. The plant Yavaka is part of the 艢奴kadh膩nyavarga group of medicinal plants, referring to the 鈥済roup of awned grains鈥�. Caraka defined such groups (vargas) based on the dietic value of the plant.
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.
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation驰腻惫补办补 (啶ぞ啶掂) refers to 鈥渞ed lac (applied over the lips)鈥�, according to the 艢ivapur膩峁嘺 2.3.46 (鈥淭he arrival of the bridegroom鈥�).鈥擜ccordingly, as Brahm膩 narrated to N膩rada: 鈥淸...] In the meantime the servant-maids in the harem of the mountain took P膩rvat墨 out in order to worship the tutelar family deity. [...] With diamond earrings her cheeks appeared brilliant. Her rows of teeth sparkled like diamonds. Red lac (测腻惫补办补) applied over her lips which were naturally red like Bimba fruits was exquisite. [...]鈥�.
: Shodhganga: The saurapurana - a critical studyYavaka (啶さ啶�) refers to the naivedya offerings in the month Vai艣膩kha for the 础苍补峁単补迟谤补测辞诲补艣墨-痴谤补迟补, according to the 10th century 厂补耻谤补辫耻谤腻峁嘺: one of the various Upapur膩峁嘺s depicting 艢aivism.鈥擜ccordingly, the Ana峁単atrayoda艣墨-vrata is observed in honour of 艢iva for acquiring virtue, great fortune, wealth and for destruction of sins [...] This vrata is to be performed for a year from M膩rga艣墨ra.鈥擨n Vai艣膩kha, the tooth-brush is that of udumbara-wood. The food taken is 箩腻迟墨辫丑补濒补. The deity to be worshipped is Mah膩r奴pa. The flowers used in worship are 尘补苍诲腻谤补. The naivedya offerings is yavaka. The result accrued equals the gift of thousand cows.
The Purana (啶啶班ぞ啶�, pur膩峁嘺s) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India鈥檚 vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
: Brill: 艢aivism and the Tantric Traditions驰腻惫补办补 (啶ぞ啶掂) refers to 鈥渂arley-gruel鈥�, according to the Guhyas奴tra chapter 9.鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥淸...] [The Lord spoke]:鈥擺...] In the left hand, he should hold a winnowing fan in the observance of Ardhan膩r墨艣vara. Adopting this observance he should eat alms, keep his senses under control, be devoted to regular obligatory recitation and oblation, rejecting the receipt of gifts. He should venerate God three times [a day] and perform ablutions three times [a day]. Eating vegetables and barley-gruel (艣膩ka-测腻惫补办补-bhik峁Ｄ伵沬n), eating bulbs, roots and fruits, for one month. [...]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.
Ganitashastra (Mathematics and Algebra)
: archive.org: Hindu Mathematics驰腻惫补办补 (啶ぞ啶掂) refers to the 鈥渃olour red鈥� in 驰腻惫补办补st膩vat, which represents an emendation of Y膩vatt膩vat (鈥渦nknown quantity鈥�), according to the principles of B墨jag补峁噄ta (鈥渁lgebra鈥� or 鈥榮cience of calculation鈥�), according to G补峁噄ta-艣膩stra, ancient Indian mathematics and astronomy.鈥擸膩vatt膩vat is not a 惫补谤峁嘺 (colour or letter of alphabet). So in its inclusion in the lists of 惫补谤峁嘺, as found enumerated in the Hindu algebras鈥攖hough apparently anomalous鈥攚e find the persistence of an ancient symbol which was in vogue long before the introduction of colours to represent unknowns. To avoid the anomaly Muralidhara Jha has suggested the emendation 测腻惫补办补st膩vat (测腻惫补办补 and also; 测腻惫补办补 = red) in the place of 测腻惫补迟迟腻惫补迟, as found in the available manuscripts. He thinks that being misled by the old practice, the expression 测腻惫补办补st膩vat was confused by copyists 测腻惫补迟迟腻惫补迟. In support of this theory it may be pointed out that 测腻惫补办补 is found to have been sometimes used by P峁泃h奴dakasv膩m墨 to represent the unknown. Bh膩skara II has once used 测腻惫补迟. N膩r膩y补峁嘺 used it on several occasions. The origin of the use of names of colours to represent unknowns in algebra is very probably connected with the ancient use of differently coloured shots for the purpose.
Ganita (啶椸ぃ啶苦い) or Ganitashastra refers to the ancient Indian science of mathematics, algebra, number theory, arithmetic, etc. Closely allied with astronomy, both were commonly taught and studied in universities, even since the 1st millennium BCE. Ganita-shastra also includes ritualistic math-books such as the Shulba-sutras.
