Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: Research Gate: On Fish in Manasollasa (c. 1131 AD)Śṛṅgasora (शृङ्गसोर) refers to a type of fish identified with Sphyrna blochii C., as mentioned in the 12th-century Mānasollāsa or Abhilaṣitārthachintāmaṇi, an ancient Sanskrit text describing thirty-five kinds of marine and fresh water fishes.—Shringasora has been described as a marine and scaleless fish, which by implication is large in size. Sora means shark and shringa means horns. Probably because of a printing error, we find the table in Hora (1951) shows it to be a sawfish. Shringasora clearly fits in with a hammer-headed shark, Sphyrna blochii C., which is found off the west coast of India.
Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics.
