Saṃseka (संसेक) refers to “watering a sown seed”, according to the Vṛkṣāyurveda by Sūrapāla (1000 CE): an encyclopedic work dealing with the study of trees and the principles of ancient Indian agriculture.—Accordingly, “A seed cultured hundred times with the oil of Cordia dichotoma sown and watered (saṃseka) with coconut oil (gale water?) sprouts immediately [saṃsekāduptaṃ sadyaḥ prajāyate]”.
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.
