In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: archive.org: Vagbhata’s Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (first 5 chapters)Kojava (कोजव) refers to “a goats’ hair coverlet of fine workmanship” and is the Pali equivalent of Kocava, similar to Kaucava (“goat’s-hair sheet”), which is mentioned in verse 3.13 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Kocava is also the spelling given by the majority of the manuscripts at Divyāvadāna pp. 40.11, 550.16 & 553.9; Cowell and Neil print kocca (koccaka) throughout, which is untenable. The Pali equivalent kojava is defined as “a goats’ hair coverlet of fine workmanship” (Childers, Dict. p. 208). In East Turkestan our fabric was known as kojava or kośava, which Lüders (Textilien p. 37) relates to the woolen tapestries and pile carpets discovered in the grave pits of the Lou-Ian cemetery; for illustrations see Stein, Asia iii pi. xliv & lxxxvii and Serindia iv pi. xxxvii.
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.
