In Hinduism
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Tṛti (तृति) refers to one of the four Mārgas (i.e., the duration of Kāla or “time units”) according to the Jainamata school of thought, as cited in the Tālalakṣaṇa, an ancient work supposedly ascribed to Kohala—a celebrated authority of the ancient period along with others such as Bharata, Yāṣṭika, Śārdūla, Kāśyapa etc.—According to the Dattilakohalīyam, Tāla is said to be of two types—mārga and deśī. Kohala in the Tālalakṣaṇa discusses the different schools of thought regarding mārga in this segment. For example, according to the Jainamata they are — dakṣiṇa, vārtika, citra, citratara, citratama, aticitra, caturbhāgasṛti, tṛti, anutṛti, gharṣaṇa, anugharṣaṇa, svara.
Natyashastra (नाट्यशास्त्र, nāṭyaśāstra) refers to both the ancient Indian tradition (shastra) of performing arts, (natya—theatrics, drama, dance, music), as well as the name of a Sanskrit work dealing with these subjects. It also teaches the rules for composing Dramatic plays (nataka), construction and performance of Theater, and Poetic works (kavya).
Ayurveda (science of life)
Gandha-Shastra (science of cosmetics, skin care, etc.)
Tṛṭi (तृटि) is the name of an ingredient/material used in various aromatic preparations, as recorded in the Marathi commentary on the Gandhavāda: a 16th century Sanskrit text dealing with the Gandhaśāstra (“ancient Indian science of cosmetics and perfumery”).—The manuscript contains two treatises viz. (1) the Gandhasāra and the (2) the Gandhavāda with Bhāṣā commentary in Marathi which is useful linguistically because it gives the vernacular equivalents for some of the Sanskrit terms. This reveals a variety of aromatic materials (e.g., tṛṭi, also kown as yelā) that were used in Medieval India for the manufacture of perfumery and cosmetics.
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.
