In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: archive.org: Vagbhata’s Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (first 5 chapters)Bhūmiṣṭha (भूमिष्ठ) refers to “terrestrial water”, as (probably) mentioned in verse 5.4-5 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] Indric water placed in a beautiful cup (and remaining) unspoiled one may always drink. In case of its absence, however, (it is water springing) in a clean, vast, and black- or white(-soiled) region (and) hit by sun and wind that (is) most similar [viz., bhūyiṣṭha=bhūmiṣṭha] to atmospheric (water)”.
Note: Bhūyiṣṭha [bhūyiṣṭham] (“most”) has been replaced by thaṅ-la gnas, lit. (“to be found in the steppe”), which proves beyond doubt that the basic text had bhūmiṣṭha [bhūmiṣṭham] (“terrestrial”) instead (thus also Candranandana, Hemādri, and Indu).
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.

[Sanskrit to German]
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.
