Prajāta (प्रजात) refers to the “birth” (of an elephant), 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”]: “[...] Deficient in girth and length, his whole body lean, his form has a grayish color, he eats much, responds to slight stimuli (i.e., is highly sensitive), his mind is unstable and he is easily angered, he is river ranging, has large eyes (? is nearsighted) and short tail, he is born in the last (dvāpara) age and in the rainy season (payovāha-kāla-prajāta), he is violent and has a predominance of bile; thus is described that smallish elephant known as ‘deer’”.
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.

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.
