In Hinduism
Dhanurveda (science of warfare)
Source: Wisdom Library: DhanurvedaVaḍiśa (वडिश) refers to a weapon (hook). It is also known as Baḍiśa. It is a Sanskrit word defined in the Dhanurveda-saṃhitā, which contains a list of no less than 117 weapons. The Dhanurveda-saṃhitā is said to have been composed by the sage Vasiṣṭha, who in turn transmitted it trough a tradition of sages, which can eventually be traced to Śiva and Brahmā.
Dhanurveda (धनुर्वेद) refers to the “knowledge of warfare” and, as an upaveda, is associated with the Ṛgveda. It contains instructions on warfare, archery and ancient Indian martial arts, dating back to the 2nd-3rd millennium BCE.
Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: Research Gate: On Fish in Manasollasa (c. 1131 AD)Vaḍiśa (वडिश) refers to a type of fish identified with Acrossocheilus hexagonolepsis McClell., as mentioned in the 12th-century Mānasollāsa or Abhilaṣitārthachintāmaṇi, an ancient Sanskrit text describing thirty-five kinds of marine and fresh water fishes.—Vadisha has been described as a riverine, scaly, large fish. It was fed leaves and barley, suggesting a “vegetarian” diet. Hora (1951) tentatively identified vadisha as Notopterus chitala Ham., which is carnivorous. The word vadisha can be a phonetic variant of badisha or balisha. Taking a clue from the word balisha, which indicates strong or powerful. We suggest vadisha to be Acrossocheilus hexagonolepsis McClell., which is a barb.
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.
