In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Strījāti (स्त्रीजाति) refers to one of the sections of the Kokasāra by Ānanda Kavi (dealing with Poetics and Erotics), which is included in the collection of manuscripts at the ‘Vincenzo Joppi’ library, collected by Luigi Pio Tessitori during his visit to Rajasthan between 1914 and 1919.—The Kokasāra is a Hindi rewriting of the Kokaśāstra, a famous Sanskrit work of the Kāmaśāstra tradition. [...] In this manuscript [of the Kokasāra] the sections are distributed as follows: [e.g., prathama ṣaṃḍa strījāti-varṇaṇaḥ (184v)] [...].
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.
Kama-shastra (the science of Love-making)
Strījātistrījāti (स्त्रीजातिस्त्रीजाति) refers to “female animals”, according to the Vātsyāyana’s Kāmasūtra: a Sanskrit text from the 2nd century dealing with eroticism, sexuality and emotional fulfillment in life belonging to Kāmaśāstra (the ancient Indian science of love-making).—Accordingly, “[Objection]—Some learned men say that as Dharma is connected with things not belonging to this world, it is appropriately treated of in a book; and so also is Artha, because it is practised only by the application of proper means, and a knowledge of those means can only be obtained by study and from books. But Kāma being a thing which is practised even by the brute creation, and which is to be found everywhere, does not want any work on the subject. [Answer]—This is not so. Sexual intercourse being a thing dependent on man and woman requires the application of proper means by them, and those means are to be learnt from the Kāma Śāstra. The non-application of proper means, which we see in the brute creation, is caused by their being unrestrained, and by the females among them (strījāti) only being fit for sexual intercourse at certain seasons and no more, and by their intercourse not being preceded by thought of any kind”
Kamashastra (कामशास्त्र, kāmaśāstra) deals with ancient Indian science of love-making, passion, emotions and other related topics dealing with the pleasures of the senses.
