Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics.

Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramPratiloma (प्रतिलोम) refers to a type of arrangement of the order of the syllables (of the sacred seats).—The commentary [of the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā verse 27.23-27] explains that the syllables that make up the names of the sacred seats can be arranged in two different sequences. The first is the normal serial order (which the commentary terms ‘anuloma’, lit. ‘with the grain’), that is, O ḌI Ā NAṂ, JĀ LA NDHA RAM Ṃ, PŪ RṆA GI RI, KĀ MA RŪ PAṂ. Each syllable has a corresponding Knot and location where it is placed on the body. This is the order in which the Tantra lists them. The second sequence (which the commentary terms ‘pratiloma’ lit. ‘against the grain’) follows the serial rearrangement of the order of the syllables as described previously (in Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā 27/8), that is, O JĀ PŪ KĀ, ḌI LA RṆA MA, Ā NDHA GI RŪ, NA RAM RI PU. The commentary lists the corresponding Knots and their location on the body in full in this order.
Shakta (शाक्त, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
Ganitashastra (Mathematics and Algebra)
Source: archive.org: Hindu MathematicsPratiloma (प्रतिलोम) refers to the “inverse order” in bhāgahāra (“division”), which refers to one of the twenty operations (logistics) of pāṭīgaṇita (“science of calculation which requires the use of writing material—the board”), according to Pṛthudakasvāmī’s commentary on the Brāhmasphuṭasiddhānta by Brahmagupta, a Sanskrit treatise on ancient Indian mathematics (gaṇita-śāstra) and astronomy from the 7th century.—The modern method of division (bhāgahāra) is explained in the works on pāṭīgaṇita, the earliest of which is the Triśatikā.
Śrīdhara in the Triśatikā: “Having removed the common factor, if any, from the divisor and the dividend, divide by the divisor (the digits of the dividend) one after another in the inverse order (pratiloma)”.
Ganitashastra (शिल्पशास्त्र, gaṇitaśāstra) refers to the ancient Indian science of mathematics, algebra, number theory, arithmetic, etc. Closely allied with astronomy, both were commonly taught and studied in universities, even since the 1st millennium BCE. Ganita-shastra also includes ritualistic math-books such as the Shulba-sutras.
