Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: Wisdom Library: Āyurveda and botanyTīkṣnatā (तीक्ष्नता, “sharpness”) refers to one of the attributes of pitta (one of the three biological humors, or tridoṣa). Tīkṣnatā is characterised by a tendency to over-exhibit body strength, sharpness of character and inability to face difficult situations. Pitta represents the “fire element” of the human body and is situated in the hṛdaya (cardiac region).

Traditional practice of Āyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
