The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
Vedanta (school of philosophy)
Pāriplava (पारिप्लव) is a legend to be recited at the Aśvamedha sacrifice and repeated at certain intervals throughout the year.

Vedanta (वेदान्त, vedānta) refers to a school of orthodox Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. There are a number of sub-schools of Vedanta, however all of them expound on the basic teaching of the ultimate reality (brahman) and liberation (moksha) of the individual soul (atman).
Ayurveda (science of life)
Agriculture (Krishi) and Vrikshayurveda (study of Plant life)
Pariplava (परिप्लव) refers to “free flowing (watery fluid)” type of Niryāsa (“exudation”) part of plants; representing a technical term related to the morphology branch of “plant science”, which ultimately involves the study of life history of plants, including its origin and development, their external and internal structures and the relation of the members of the plant body with one another.—The vṛkṣāṅga-sūtrīya-adhyāya, i.e., the chapter of the bījotpatti-kāṇḍa of Parāśara’s Vṛkṣāyurveda deals with various parts of plants, e.g., Exudation (niryāsa). In trees, creepers, shrubs when their branches, leaves etc. are cut off or their trunk is damaged by the sharp instrument, a kind of exudation comes out. It is called niryāsa. Exudation, according to their nature has different physical properties. Some may have free flowing watery fluid (pariplava) [tatra pariplavantu salilasaṃkāśam]. Others may be frothy; slimy; again others may be milky juice i.e. latex. Sometimes, they even may be sticky or oleo-resinous. The former is devoid of oil, while the latter is an inflammable substance

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.

Pāriplava (पारिप्लव) in the Sanskrit language is related to the Prakrit word: Pārippava.
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.
