In Hinduism
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Source: archive.org: The Ragas Of Karnatic MusicŚivatattvaratnākara (शिवतत्त्वरत्नाकर).—In the Śivatattva Ratnākara by King Basava eight puruṣa-rāgas, and their 24 wives are given and Mataṅga is cited as having enumerated them. A different list of 6 male rāgas, each having 5 rāgiṇīs for wives are given and defined. In their definition the term rāgāṅga, etc., is used and the mūrchanās of the grāma system which occur in them are mentioned by name. It is strange that this writer also is ignorant of Veṅkaṭamakhin’s system.
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).
Ayurveda (science of life)
Agriculture (Krishi) and Vrikshayurveda (study of Plant life)
Source: Asian Agri-History: Drumavichitrikaranam—The Ancient Approach to Plant MutagenesisŚivatattvaratnākara (शिवतत्त्वरत्नाकर) by Basavarāja (1694-1714 CE) is the name of an encyclopedic work also dealing with ancient Indian agriculture and shows that the concept of Plant Mutagenesis (druma-vichitrikaranam) was fully understood even in ancient India. Here druma means a tree and vicitrīkaraṇa means “to make (it) appear extraordinary”. Hence the term means “to make a tree appear extraordinary”. In other words, the term implies that there would be an alteration in the natural trait of the tree. Certain treatises contain a separate chapter on Plant Mutagenesis (druma-vicitrīkaraṇa), such as Basavarāja’s Śivatattvaratnākara (1694-1714 CE).
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.
