In Hinduism
Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
Mud (मुद्).—A technical term for the sibilants श्, ष् (ś, ṣ) and स् (s) given in the Vajasaneyi-Pratisakhya; cf. मुच्च (mucca) V. Pr. I.52, cf also V. Pr. III.9,III.13,IV.122.
Vyakarana (व्याकरण, vyākaraṇa) refers to Sanskrit grammar and represents one of the six additional sciences (vedanga) to be studied along with the Vedas. Vyakarana concerns itself with the rules of Sanskrit grammar and linguistic analysis in order to establish the correct context of words and sentences.
Ayurveda (science of life)
Toxicology (Study and Treatment of poison)
Mud is used in the treatment of Maṇḍalī-snake-bites, 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).—The Kāśyapasaṃhitā chapter 9 hint at the current trends in medication which use anti-bodies in treating poison. The Text mentions that the snake be killed, opened up and kept safely in mud. After a certain time, the mud becomes as potent as the snake. The mud , along with its bones must be powdered and kept in a vessel , made into a paste and applied to the victim bitten by Maṇḍalī snake.
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.
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Mud refers to one of the detergent materials used for bathing (snāna), as discussed in chapter 2 (Kriyakanda) of the Parameshvara-Samhita: an important Pancaratra text of 8700 verses followed closely by the Ranganathaswamy temple at Srirangam—dealing with priestly concerns such as their daily routines, occasional liturgies and expiatory services.—Description of the chapter [snāna-vidhi]: [...] In telling how to take the daily bath, Śāṇḍilya outlines the various observances that a man does from the time he wakes up-recitations of Viṣṇu’s Holy Names, which foot to take the first step with, how to collect the proper detergent (viz., mud) for bathing, how to select an auspicious bathing place, etc. (1-70). [...]
Pancaratra (पाञ्चरात्र, pāñcarātra) represents a tradition of Hinduism where Narayana is revered and worshipped. Closeley related to Vaishnavism, the Pancaratra literature includes various Agamas and tantras incorporating many Vaishnava philosophies.
