In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Dietetics and Culinary Art (such as household cooking)
Source: Shodhganga: Dietetics and culinary art in ancient and medieval IndiaAṣṭāṅgasaṃgraha (अष्टाङ्गसंग्रह) and Aṣṭāṅgahṛdaya are considered later treatises as compared to the early Saṃhitas. Vāgbhaṭa, the author of these two texts lived on 5th century CE. The author first wrote Aṣṭāṅgasaṃgraha which is a compendium of eight different sections of treatment which are śalya, śālākya, kāya, bhūta, agada, kaumārabhṛtya, rasāyana and vājīkaraṇa. Though the earlier texts on Ayurveda have discussed these topics, they are not presented in a systematic or in a comprehensive manner. Vāgbhaṭa compiled the earlier conceptions and presented the subject very systematically in the text, Aṣṭāṅgasaṃgraha. He felt that the text has become a voluminous text which is unapproachable for the beginners and wrote another one which is the summary of the former text. The new work is known as Aṣṭāṅgahṛdaya.

The mixture in the Aṣṭāṅgasaṃgraha of prose and verse reminds one of Caraka and Suśruta, while the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā consists only of verses.
Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
