Nunna (नुन्न) refers to “dispatching (one’s servants)”, 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 1, “on the origin of elephants”]: “[...] 6. On the way the king’s men, whom he dispatched (nunna) to catch the elephants, beheld as they roamed in the jungle a sage Sāmagāyana who was staying in a hermitage. Near by a herd of elephants was grazing; and they saw the glorious hermit Pālakāpya, who was with the elephant herd, but was separated from it at morning, noon, and night. [...]”.
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.
