In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Rasashastra (Alchemy and Herbo-Mineral preparations)
1) Khaṭikā (खटिका) is a Sanskrit technical term corresponding to “Chalk”, which is a form of limestone composed of calcite (a naturally occurring carbonate mineral). It is commonly used in Rasaśāstra literature (Medicinal Alchemy) such as the Rasaprakāśasudhākara or the Rasaratna-samuccaya. Khaṭikā is an ingredient often used in various Ayurvedic recipes and Alchemical preparations.
2) Khaṭikā (खटिका):—One of the two main varieties of Saurāṣṭrī (‘alum’), which is part of the uparasa group of eight minerals, according to the Rasaprakāśasudhākara: a 13th century Sanskrit book on Indian alchemy, or, Rasaśāstra. It has a white color but is not recommended for the Lohamāraṇa process.
Khaṭikā is a variety of Tālaka (“Orpiment”).—It is white in colour and amla in taste. This variety is not used for lohamāraṇa purpose, instead, the other variety named Phullikā is used.
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.
Vastushastra (architecture)
Khaṭikā (खटिका) refers to “chalk”, according to the Devyāmata (in the section śalyoddhāra-paṭala or “excavation of extraneous substances”).—Accordingly, “[...] If [someone] scratches his foot, [the officiant] should prognosticate an extraneous thing related to an elephant [, i.e. a born of an elephant]. He should remove the extraneous thing, i.e. a thorn [at a depth of] twelve digits [underground]. If [someone] scratches his big toe, [the officiant] should prognosticate an extraneous thing, i.e. a piece of chalk (khaṭikā—kaṇḍū khaṭikāśalyam). Alternatively, he should prognosticate a piece of iron mixed with various calxes of brass there. [...] ”.
Vastushastra (वास्तुशास्त्र, vāstuśāstra) refers to the ancient Indian science (shastra) of architecture (vastu), dealing with topics such architecture, sculpture, town-building, fort building and various other constructions. Vastu also deals with the philosophy of the architectural relation with the cosmic universe.
In Buddhism
General definition (in Buddhism)
Sanskrit. khaṭikā, Tibetan. rdo rgyus. Monier Williams has “chalk” and Bod rgya tshig mdzod chen mo says "a mineral that, when beaten, becomes like vulture downs.” All this matches the features of asbestos, which is a white, fibrous mineral that is fire-resistant and can easily be spun into yarn.
India history and geography
Khāṭikā.—(Ep. Ind., Vol. IV, p. 253); the mouth of a river; same as Bengali khād8ī. Note: khāṭikā is defined in the “Indian epigraphical glossary” as it can be found on ancient inscriptions commonly written in Sanskrit, Prakrit or Dravidian languages.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
