In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Agriculture (Krishi) and Vrikshayurveda (study of Plant life)
Kṣiptvā (क्षिप्त्वा) refers to “covering (the hole of a sown seed)”, as prescribed by certain bio-organical recipes for plant mutagenesis, according to the Viśvavallabha-Vṛkṣāyurveda by Cakrapāṇi-Miśra (1580 CE): an encyclopedic work dealing with the principles of ancient Indian agriculture and horticulture.—Accordingly, “The seed of Solanum melongena should be placed in the cavity of a tender Benincasa hispida fruit attached to the creeper after wetting in honey and clarified butter and drying in the sun. The cavity should be closed (kṣiptvā) with cow-dung and the seed should be allowed to ripen. The seed should be sown after ripening. This results in fruits as big as Benincasa hispida in season”.
Veterinary Medicine (The study and treatment of Animals)
Kṣiptvā (क्षिप्त्वा) refers to “having deposited something”, 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 9, “on kinds of must”]: “7. Of old the Unborn (Brahma) created must, and then deposited (kṣiptvā) half of it in (all other) creatures, moving and stationary, and deposited the other half in elephants. So, intoxicated, they fight and become enraged, mastered by it”.
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.
