In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Cikitsa (natural therapy and treatment for medical conditions)
: Ancient Science of Life: Botanical identification of plants described in M膩dhava Cikits膩碍耻峁囜弓丑补 (啶曕啶｀啶�) or Ku峁ａ弓ha refers to the medicinal plant Saussurea lappa C.B.Cl., and is used in the treatment of 补迟颈蝉腻谤补 (diarrhoea), according to the 7th century M膩dhavacikits膩 chapter 2. Atis膩ra refers to a condition where there are three or more loose or liquid stools (bowel movements) per day or more stool than normal. The second chapter of the M膩dhavacikits膩 explains several preparations [including 碍耻峁囜弓丑补] through 60 Sanskrit verses about treating this problem.
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.
Jyotisha (astronomy and astrology)
Source: Wisdom Library: Brihat Samhita by Varahamihira碍耻峁囜弓丑补 (啶曕啶｀啶�) refers to 鈥渂lunt鈥� (luminous horns of an eclipse), according to the B峁沨atsa峁僪i迟腻 (chapter 5), an encyclopedic Sanskrit work written by Var膩hamihira mainly focusing on the science of ancient Indian astronomy astronomy (Jyoti峁).鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥淲hat eclipses [i.e., 腻惫补谤补峁嘺] the moon is bigger than the moon; what eclipses the sun is smaller than the sun. Hence in semi-lunar and semi-solar eclipses, the luminous horns are respectively blunt [i.e., 办耻峁囜弓丑补] and sharp. [...] It is wrong to say that there can be no eclipse unless five planets are in conjunction and it is equally wrong to suppose that on the previous A峁ａ弓am墨 (eighth lunar) day, the coming eclipse and its properties can be ascertained by examining the appearance of a drop of oil on the surface of water鈥�.
Jyotisha (啶溹啶啶むた啶�, 箩测辞迟颈峁 or jyotish) refers to 鈥榓stronomy鈥� or 鈥淰edic astrology鈥� and represents the fifth of the six Vedangas (additional sciences to be studied along with the Vedas). Jyotisha concerns itself with the study and prediction of the movements of celestial bodies, in order to calculate the auspicious time for rituals and ceremonies.
