In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Veterinary Medicine (The study and treatment of Animals)
1) Avahita (अवहित) refers to those “careful experts” (determining the price of an elephant), according to the 15th century Mātaṅgalīlā composed by Nīlakaṇṭha in 263 Sanskrit verses, dealing with elephantology in ancient India, focusing on the science of management and treatment of elephants.—[Cf. chapter 7, “on details of price”]: “1. Men cannot say: ‘So large a price is enough for them’. When one price is approved by both buyer and seller, that shall be known as the best price; what is disapproved by one of the parties, as a middling price; what is disapproved by both, as a bad price. Hence determining all by many careful experts (avahita), the price of elephants shall be arrived at”.
2) Avahita (अवहित) refers to the “concentrated mind” (of an elephant-driver).—[Cf. chapter 12, “On the qualities of elephant drivers, etc.”]: “11. Inserting both his feet in the neck chain, with strokes of his firmly implanted toes and heels, and with his thighs tightly binding, with firm mind, fixed securely like a post, the driver shall take a good hold of the hook in his right hand, and with the other hand likewise a staff of reed or the like, and with concentrated mind (avahita-dhī) shall gently make the elephant go (by signs made with his feet) [dakṣiṇenānyahastenaivaṃ totraṃ ca vetrādikamavahitadhīḥ prerayeccāru nāgam]”.
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.
