Ayurveda (science of life)
Veterinary Medicine (The study and treatment of Animals)
Drāk (द्राक्) refers to “instantly” (becoming maddened) 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 5, “on marks of the stages of life”]: “15. In the ears, temples, and kṣaya he is sticky because the wrinkles growing there are slimy with the must-fluid that appears in the saṃdāna and other places, and he comes to the best condition that is natural to him (to the prime of life); he becomes maddened on an instant (drāk), and is delighted for no special reason; heroic and all-overpowering, his temples always slimy with must-fluid, he is called a yaudha (‘fighter’) and has reached the fifth stage”.
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, 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.
