Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: archive.org: Vagbhata’s Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (first 5 chapters)Aśvinau (अश्विनौ) refers to the “two Aśvins” and is mentioned in verse 1.3 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “Brahman, having recalled medical science, taught (it) to Prajāpati; he, to the two Aśvins (Aśvinīputras); they, to the Thousand-eyed One; he, to the sages Atriputra etc. they, to Agniveśa etc. But they composed (their) works separately. (These) being too widely scattered, there is (now) made from them, as a collection for the most part of very essential (matter)”.
Note: Aśvinau has been represented by Tha-skar, which properly signifies the goddess Aśvinī, the mutual wife of the two Aśvins later considered to be their mother. As in the case of the following rGyun-śes (~ Sanskrit Atri; see note on v. 2), the name of the parent serves here as a substitute for that of the son.
