Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: archive.org: Vagbhata’s Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (first 5 chapters)Māghādya (माघाद्य) refers to “beginning with Māgha” and is mentioned in verse 3.1 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Note: Māghādya (“beginning with Māgha”) has been changed to dgun-zla ra-ba (mgo-la) s(ts)ogs (“beginning with Mārgaśīrṣa”) (cf. Mahāvyutpatti 8270). This substitution of the first month of winter (according to the Tibetan calendar) for the first month of pre-spring (according to the Indian calendar) deserves notice inasmuch as it agrees precisely with the parallel passage in Aṣṭāṅgasaṃgraha I 4 (~I p. 24all sqq.), which reads:—“With these (months) beginning with Mārgaśīrśa (and) numbering two (each), there are six seasons in succession, called winter, pre-spring, spring, summer, monsoon, and autumn”.
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.
