Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: archive.org: Vagbhata’s Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (first 5 chapters)Madhyabhakta (मध्यभक्त) refers to “drinking water during meals”, as mentioned in verse 5.15-16 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] normal, fat, and lean (respectively get) those who drink water during [viz., madhyabhakta], after, and before meals. Cold water removes alcoholism, lassitude, stupor, nausea, fatigue, giddiness, thirst, heat through hot (factors), hemorrhage, and poison”.
Note: bhakta-madhya-anta-prathama-ambupa—“drinking water during, after, and before meals” has been interchanged with samasthūlakṛśa and translated by zan zos-par mtha thog-mar chu ’thuṅs—“having drunk water while, after, (and) before taking a meal”. The perfect infinitive zos-pa is meant to express the antecedence in time to the governing ’thuṅs.

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.
