My elder brother was by name 笔谤腻峁嘺诲丑补谤补, and he was infatuated with love for a fickle dame, and I, my lord, am named R膩jyadhara, and I was ever devoted to him鈥�.
Further on: 鈥�... there is living here [Karp奴rasambhava] a mechanic who makes ingenious chariots, who has come from a foreign land, 笔谤腻峁嘺诲丑补谤补 by name; I will cause him quickly to make such a chariot [that will travel through the air]鈥�.
The Kath膩sarits膩gara (鈥榦cean of streams of story鈥�), mentioning 笔谤腻峁嘺诲丑补谤补, is a famous Sanskrit epic story revolving around prince Narav膩hanadatta and his quest to become the emperor of the 惫颈诲测腻诲丑补谤补蝉 (celestial beings).

Ayurveda (science of life)
Rasashastra (Alchemy and Herbo-Mineral preparations)
Source: Wisdom Library: Rasa-艣膩stra笔谤腻峁嘺诲丑补谤补 (啶啶班ぞ啶｀ぇ啶�) or 笔谤腻峁嘺诲丑补谤补rasa is the name of a Ayurvedic recipe defined in the fifth volume of the Rasajalanidhi (chapter 11, Gulma: tumour in the belly). These remedies are classified as Iatrochemistry and form part of the ancient Indian science known as Rasa艣膩stra (medical alchemy). However, since it is an ayurveda treatment it should be taken with caution and in accordance with rules laid down in the texts.
Accordingly, when using such recipes (e.g., 辫谤腻峁嘺诲丑补谤补-谤补蝉补): 鈥渢he minerals (uparasa), poisons (惫颈峁), and other drugs (except herbs), referred to as ingredients of medicines, are to be duly purified and incinerated, as the case may be, in accordance with the processes laid out in the texts.鈥� (see introduction to Iatro chemical medicines)

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.
