Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: Indian Journal of History of Science: Jvaranirnaya: a rare monograph on diagnosis of fevers from the pre-colonial eraAriṣṭalakṣaṇa (अरिष्टलक्षण) refers to “identifying bad omens related to the symptoms of fever”, according to the Jvaranirṇaya: an Ayurvedic manuscript dealing exclusively with types of jvara (fevers) written by Sri Nārāyaṇa Paṇḍita in the 16th century CE.—The uniqueness of the text is that one can get a comprehensive classification, symptomatology and diagnosis of jvara, all at one place in this text. [...] The concept of “prakṛti samā samavētā and vikṛti viṣama samavēta” and bad omen (ariṣṭalakṣaṇa) related to the symptoms are some of the other interesting aspects of the text. These features of the monograph make it worth exploring further.
