Ayurveda (science of life)
Agriculture (Krishi) and Vrikshayurveda (study of Plant life)
Source: Asian Agri-History: Drumavichitrikaranam—The Ancient Approach to Plant MutagenesisUpavanavinoda (उपवनविनोद) by Śārṅgadhara (1300 CE) is the name of an encyclopedic work also dealing with ancient Indian agriculture and shows that the concept of Plant Mutagenesis (druma-vichitrikaranam) was fully understood even in ancient India. Here druma means a tree and vicitrīkaraṇa means “to make (it) appear extraordinary”. Hence the term means “to make a tree appear extraordinary”. In other words, the term implies that there would be an alteration in the natural trait of the tree. Certain treatises contain a separate chapter on Plant Mutagenesis (druma-vicitrīkaraṇa), such as Śārṅgadhara’s Upavanavinoda (1300 CE).
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.

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.
