In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: archive.org: Vagbhata’s Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (first 5 chapters)Rociṣṇu (रोचिष्णु) refers to that which is “appetizing”, as mentioned in verse 5.29-30 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] Of sour digestion and taste, constipating, heavy, (and) warming (are) curds [viz., dadhi]; (they are) destructive of wind (and) generative of fat, sperm, strength, phlegm, hemorrhage, (gastric) fire, and cutaneous swellings. (As they are) appetizing [viz., rociṣṇu], (they are) commended in anorexia, cold irregular fever, catarrh, and strangury; skimmed, however, in dysentery”.
Note: Rociṣṇu (“appetizing”) has been reproduced by yi-ga ’byed-ciṅ (“opening, stimulating, appetite”). In CDPS the transitive ’byed-ciṅ has been replaced by the intransitive ’bye-źiṅ, which is just the opposite of what happened in 4.30, where NP read yi-ga ’bye-źiṅ while CD write yi-ga ’byed-ciṅ.—yid (for yi) in P2 is a miscarving.
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.
