In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Dietetics and Culinary Art (such as household cooking)
Nāraṅga (नारङ्ग) refers to “lemon” which is used in the preparation of pickles (upadaṃśa) and represents a type of vegetable (śāka) according to the 17th century Bhojanakutūhala (dravyaguṇāguṇa-kathana), and is commonly found in literature dealing with the topics of dietetics and culinary art, also known as Pākaśāstra or Pākakalā.—Upadaṃśa is a section which describes only the properties of pickles. Their preparation is not described here. The pickles prepared by different items [like nāraṅga (lemon), etc.] are described in detail.
Nāraṅga or “lemon” is mentioned in a list of potential causes for indigestion.—A complete section in Bhojanakutūhala is devoted for the description of agents that cause indigestion [viz., nāraṅga (lemon)]. These agents consumed on a large scale can cause indigestion for certain people. The remedies [viz., guḍa (jaggery)] for these types of indigestions are also explained therewith.
Veterinary Medicine (The study and treatment of Animals)
Nāraṅga (नारङ्ग) refers to the “orange tree” (whose odor is said to resemble certain elephants), 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 8, “on marks of character”]: “2. One that is beautiful, has an odor like the white water lily, sandalwood, Alstonia scholaris, orange tree (nāraṅga), lotus, or Cathartocarpus fistula, whose face beams, who always retains the interest (spirit, excitement) of a kalabha (young elephant), who has a cry like a koil, he is to be honored as having the character of a god”.
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.
