In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: archive.org: Vagbhata’s Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (first 5 chapters)Protphulla (प्रोत्फुल्ल) refers to “full-blown” (viz., lotuses), mentioned in verse 3.41 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “from him whose mind is at ease, (who is) moist with sandal [...]—(and) [...] beautiful women (who), possessed of lotus-fibre bracelets (and) radiant with full-blown lotuses [viz., protphulla-kamalojjvala], (are) like moving water-lilies: (these) take away the weariness”.
Note: The phrase “mṛṇālavalayāḥ kāntāḥ protphullakamalojjvalāḥ”—“beautiful women possessed, of lotus-fibre bracelets (and) radiant with full-blown lotuses” has been rendered freely by “chuṅ-ma gdu-bu pad-rtsa ’dra padma rgyas-pa lta-bur mdzes”—“women beautiful as full-blown lotuses in their lotus-fibre-like bracelets”, with the simile of the second line having been extended to the whole stanza.—bde-rtsa (for pad-rtsa) in C is a corruption.
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.
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationProtphulla (प्रोत्फुल्ल) refers to “full-blown” (i.e., a full-blown lotus), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.25 (“The seven celestial sages test Pārvatī”).—Accordingly, after the seven Sages spoke to Śiva: “On hearing the words of the sages, lord Śiva, the storehouse of sympathy spoke lovingly and laughingly with eyes beaming like full-blown lotus [i.e., protphulla-nayana-ambuja]”.
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.
