In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: Wisdom Library: Āyurveda and botanyBahulatā (बहुलता, “excessiveness”) refers to one of the attributes of vāta (one of the three biological humors, or tridoṣa). Viśadatā is characterised by talkativeness, abundance and prominent visibility of tendons and veins. Vāta represents the “airy element” of the human body and is situated in the basti (pelvic region). It is also known as Vāyu.
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.
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationBāhulatā (बाहुलता) refers to “having tender creeper-like hands”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.23 (“Outraging the modesty of Vṛndā”).—Accordingly, as Sanatkumāra narrated to Vyāsa: “[...] Then [Vṛndā], the dejected gloomy wife of Jalandhara, wandered from forest to forest. She was not conscious of even herself. The wandering lady saw two demons of terrible leonine faces with shining curved fanglike teeth. Terrified much on seeing them, the lady fled from there and saw an ascetic of calm countenance observing silence and accompanied by his disciple. Putting her tender creeper-like hands (bāhulatā) round his neck due to fright she gasped out—‘O sage, save me. I have sought refuge in you’. [...]”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
