Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: archive.org: Vagbhata’s Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (first 5 chapters)Tiktaghṛta (तिक्तघृत) refers to “bitter ghee”, mentioned in verse 3.49-50 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] with those whose body has become used to the cold of the monsoon, when suddenly afflicted by sunbeams, the choler accumulated in the rainy season gets irritated in autumn. For its removal (are indicated) bitter ghee [viz., tiktaghṛta], purgation, (and) bloodletting. When hungry, one shall turn to bitter, sweet, astringent, and light food”.
Note: ghṛtaṃ tiktam—“bitter ghee” has been paraphrased by sman-mar kha, which means literally (“bitter medicinal ghee”); on its preparation see IV 19.2 sqq.

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.
