Veterinary Medicine (The study and treatment of Animals)
Sugandhita (सुगन्धित) refers to the “fragrant body” (of certain 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 8, “on marks of character”]: “9. (Like) a Brahman (in character) is one who is pure, whose body is fragrant (sugandhita-aṅga) with odors like honey, milk, the rice concoction offered in sacrifice, ghee, or the flowers of the mango; who is fond of peace, and friendly to all elephants; composed, fond of bathing, right minded; so the sages declare”.

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.
