Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: INSA Digital Repository: Caraka’s Approach to KnowledgeTraining in Debate was important for physicians who were bright and ambitious and who wished to establish their doctrines among peers or win recognition as royal physicians. The debates were classified as vada, jalpa and vitanda; vada seeks to ascertain truth, jalpa seeks to overthrow the opponent’s view rightly or wrongly, and vitanda seeks to pick holes in the opponent’s thesis without any attempt to present an alternative. Reading the long section on debate and the importance attached to debates in all branches of learning—philosophy, medicine, art—as a means to win peer cognition, one is tempted to believe that special training schools may have existed to hone debating skills among different professional aspirants in Ancient 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.
