In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: eJournal of Indian Medicine: Conceptions of Landscapes in Ancient Indian MedicineKharanāda (खरनाद) or Khāraṇādi is the author of the so-called Kharanādasaṃhitā. His date is uncertain, but he must have written his work before Hariścandra.—(Cf. Meulenbeld, 1999, pp. 695–696).
Source: Academia.edu: The Nepalese version of the SuśrutasaṃhitāKharanāda (खरनाद) (author of the Kharanādasaṃhitā) is possibly identified with Kaṇḍaraggisāmo.—[...] A medical authority of this name became prominent in much later Ayurvedic literature concerned with nāḍīśāstra (pulse diagnosis) and therefore could not be known to the authors of Milindapañha. Another possibility is to associate Kaṇḍaraggisāmo with the well known medical authority Kharanāda, author of a lost Kharanādasaṃhitā, which is, according to Meulenbeld (1999-2002, vol. IA; pp. 695f.), extensively quoted in classical commentaries.—Suśrutārthasaṃdīpana 9.146 mentions one oil recipe by Kharanāda that is effective against piles (arśovināśana).
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.
