In Hinduism
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Rasakaumudī (रसकौमुदी) by Śrīkaṇṭha (1575 C.E.) is the name of an ancient lakṣaṇagrantha (i.e., texts on saṃgīta-śastra or Musicology) in which one finds the concept of tāla-daśaprāṇas being dealt with as a composite unit. From this, we can infer that Tālalakṣaṇam was probably one of the earlier works which spoke about the Tāladaśaprāṇas.
Natyashastra (नाट्यशास्त्र, nāṭyaśāstra) refers to both the ancient Indian tradition (shastra) of performing arts, (natya—theatrics, drama, dance, music), as well as the name of a Sanskrit work dealing with these subjects. It also teaches the rules for composing Dramatic plays (nataka), construction and performance of Theater, and Poetic works (kavya).

Rasakaumudī (रसकौमुदी) is the name of a Sanskrit manuscript collected in volume 1 of the catalogue “Notices of Sanskrit Manuscripts (first series)” by Rajendralal Mitra (1822–1891), who was one of the first English-writing historians dealing with Indian culture and heritage.—Manuscript information is as follows: Substance: country-made paper, 12 × 4½ inches. Amount of Folia: 90, with 11 lines on a page. Extend 3,092 ślokas. Character, Bengali. Date, SK. 1735. Place of deposit: Gopalapura, zillah Birabhum/Virabhuma, Kashinatha Kaviraja [=Bīrabhūm/Vīrabhūma, Kāśīnātha Kavirāja]. Appearance, old. Verse. Generally correct.
The Rasakaumudī by Mādhava-Kara represents a treatise on practice of medicine and therapeutics. It is a leading work on Hindu medicine, very largely studied in Bengal. The author wrote a work on the causes and symptoms of diseases; it is called the nidāna and is reckoned as the standard work on the subject. It is consulted by every native physician in the country, and no man is reckoned as duly qualified for the medical profession who has not read it.
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.
