In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Nighantu (Synonyms and Characteristics of Drugs and technical terms)
Kisalaya (किसलय) or Kiśalaya refers to a “young leaf” of a tree or plant, as mentioned in a list of four synonyms, according to the second chapter (dharaṇyādi-varga) of the 13th-century Raj Nighantu or Rājanighaṇṭu (an Ayurvedic encyclopedia). The Dharaṇyādi-varga covers the lands, soil, mountains, jungles and vegetation’s relations between trees [viz., Kisalaya] and plants and substances, with their various kinds.
Toxicology (Study and Treatment of poison)
Kisalaya (किसलय) refers to the “sprouts (of a tree)”, according to the Kāśyapa Saṃhitā: an ancient Sanskrit text from the Pāñcarātra tradition dealing with both Tantra and Viṣacikitsā, which represents the Ayurvedic study on Toxicology (Viṣavidyā or Sarpavidyā).—A number of different permutation and combination of herbs are prescribed as Lepa and Pāna for removing the poison of Maṇḍalī snakes.—According to the Kāśyapasaṃhitā verse 9.83: “A compound prepared of Dugdhī, Kiṃśuka, bittergourd, Tulasī and Kośātakī juices mixed with Turmeric water and Lotus petals, a drona of Ginger, and husk will remove the poison and heal the wound.This preparation can be mixed with sprouts (kisalaya) of Kṣīravṛkṣa and given as a drink”.
Agriculture (Krishi) and Vrikshayurveda (study of Plant life)
Kiśalaya (किशलय) (or, pallava, pravāla) refers to “new leaves (of a plant)”, and represents a technical term related to the morphology branch of “plant science”, which ultimately involves the study of life history of plants, including its origin and development, their external and internal structures and the relation of the members of the plant body with one another.— The vṛkṣāṅga-sūtrīya-adhyāya, i.e., the chapter of the bījotpatti-kāṇḍa of Parāśara’s Vṛkṣāyurveda deals with various parts of plants, e.g., Leaf (parṇa or patra). [...] The leaf is called patra, because it falls soon, it is also called parṇa because of its green colour. New leaves are called pallava, kiśalaya. Branches with undeveloped leaves (pallava) are called vistāra as the plant spreads by it. It is synonymous with modern bud. The leaf or the parṇa may be either possessing one blade or more than one blade.
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.
