Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: archive.org: Vagbhata’s Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (first 5 chapters)Śastrāgniglapita (शस्त्राग्निग्लपित) refers to those “exhausted from scalpel and fire” (i.e., surgery and cauterization), as mentioned in verse 5.37-39 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] [ghee is] recommended for [...] (and) those exhausted from pulmonary rupture, pulmonary consumption, erysipelas, scalpel, and fire [viz., śastrāgniglapita]; dispersive of wind, choler, poison, frenzy, desiccation, unbeautifulness, and fever, [...]: ghee [viz., ghṛta] (is) possessed of a thousand powers (and), by its (many) ways of application, productive of a thousand effects”.
Note: śastrāgniglapita (“exhausted from scalpel and fire”) [i.e. surgery and cauterization] has been translated by mthson smas mes thsig rmya—“exhaustion from having been wounded by scalpel (and) burnt with fire”. By the nominalization of glapita and the consequent omission of ātman (which serves merely as a device for forming the possessive compound), the preceding nouns have become immediately dependent upon śasta.—In CDP2 rmya (“exhaustion”) has been replaced by rma (“wound”), which appears somewhat awkward beside smas (“wounded”), See v. 79, where rmya is the sole spelling of all xylographs.
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.
