Cikitsita (चिकित्सित) refers to the “treatment” (of a certain elephant-disease), 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 11, “50. The (elephant) fever known as pākala the wise man shall note by the same symptoms which are described of human fever; hence its treatment (cikitsita) is the same. [lakṣayenmatimāṃstasmāt tadeva ca cikitsitam] 51. Whatsoever are the (medical) differences between elephants and men, they are all set forth in dealing with those afflicted with disorders, etc. Therefore experts should apply just the same treatment in their case as for men, having determined the specific nature of the disease”.
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.
