In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Śakṛnmūtra (शकृन्मूत्र) refers to “urine and dungs”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.15 (“The penance and reign of Tārakāsura”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated: “[...] At the same time, several phenomena of evil portent forboding misery and distress happened, when the son of Varāṅgī was born making the gods miserable. [...] Beasts in sheds and forests roamed here and there in great fright as though beaten and driven about, passing urine and shitting dungs [i.e., śakṛnmūtra] as they pleased. Frightened cows sprayed blood through their udders; their eyes brimmed with tears, clouds showering putrid matter became terrifying. [...]”.
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.
Ayurveda (science of life)
Toxicology (Study and Treatment of poison)
Śakṛnmūtra (शकृन्मूत्र) refers to the “dung and urine” (of a new born calf), according to the Kāśyapa Saṃhitā: an ancient Sanskrit text from the Pāñcarātra tradition dealing with both Tantra and Viṣacikitsā—an important topic from Āyurveda which deals with the study of Toxicology (Viṣavidyā or Sarpavidyā).—Gulikā or pill is prepared from making a paste of the four products of (bovine) cow-dung, urine, curd and ghee on the fifth day of the dark fortnight. This is a potent anti-venom antidote. Pills made from dung and urine (śakṛnmūtra) of a new born calf, dried in the shade are said to be always very potent in removing poison; the same mixed with urine can be used as antitode.
Veterinary Medicine (The study and treatment of Animals)
Śakṛnmūtra (शकृन्मूत्र) refers to the “evacuating and urinating” (of elephants), according to the 15th century Mātaṅgalīlā composed by Nīlakaṇṭha in 263 Sanskrit verses, dealing with elephantology in ancient India, focusing on the science of management and treatment of elephants.—[Cf. chapter 5, “on marks of the stages of life”]: “20. With ears, shoulders, tail, and trunk hanging limp, body hairs fallen out, falling teeth (or tusks), wasting away in flesh and strength, with loose foot soles, and feet (‘hoof-slippers’) that fall off, eating little, rough-bodied, with a film over the eyes, his body covered with veins, evacuating and urinating (śakṛnmūtra-muc) with difficulty [kṛcchrācchakṛnmūtramuk], thirsty, his nails eaten by multitudes of worms, he is aged and has attained the tenth stage”.
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.
