Ayurveda (science of life)
Agniveśatantra (अग्निवेशतन्त्र) originally consisted of 12000 verses.—(cf. Carakasaṃhitā Siddhisthāna 12.52-53).—Unfortunately Agniveshatantra in the original form is not available at present. That logically leads us to the question, as to the period till which the book was available.
Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. 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.
