Source: Research Gate: On Fish in Manasollasa (c. 1131 AD)Thogyara (थोग्यर) refers to a type of fish identified with Cirrihinus reba Ham., as mentioned in the 12th-century Mānasollāsa or Abhilaṣitārthachintāmaṇi, an ancient Sanskrit text describing thirty-five kinds of marine and fresh water fishes.—Thogyara has been described as an inland fish. Other details are missing. It has not been possible to trace thogyara’s origin in Sanskrit. Hora (1951) failed to identify this fish. Taking a clue from two local names, yerrathok-mosu in Telugu, and tharimeenu in Kannada, we tentatively suggest that this fish is Cirrhinus reba Ham., a carp found in fresh waters all over India.
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.
