Unclassified Ayurveda definitions
Āṇi (आणि) is the name of a specific marma (vital points) of the human body, according to the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdaya-saṃhitā. When affected severely, these marmas causes death. The commonly accepted number of marmas in the human body, as described in the Suśruta-saṃhita, is 107 divided into 5 categories: the muscular, vascular, ligament, bone and joints.
The Aṣṭāṅgahṛdaya-saṃhitā by Vāgbhaṭa is a classical Sanskrit treatise dealing with Āyurveda dating from the 6th-century. Together with the Suśruta-saṃhitā and the Caraka-saṃhita, it is considered one of the three main Indian medical classics
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.

This affix अनि (ani) gets its न् (n) changed into ण् (ṇ) after ऋ (ṛ) or रेफ (repha) of the preceding preposition as in अप्रयाणिः (aprayāṇiḥ);cf. Kāś, on VIII.4.29.

India history and geography
Ani refers to the month in the Tamil tradition corresponding to the months June-.—[The festivals of Ani are: Mahapradosa, Brahmotsava including Rathotsava].—Festivals take place in all Tamil moths of the year, beginning with Cittirai (April-May) and ending with Pankuni (March-April).—The rules and regulations for daily offerings and the periodical festivals [viz., Ani] are laid down in the Agamas.
