In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Agriculture (Krishi) and Vrikshayurveda (study of Plant life)
Vāṭya (वाट्य) or Vāṭyamaṇḍala refers to “flowers in which petals and stamens are united forming a column round the style”; representing a type of Puṣpa (“flower”); it is a technical term related to the morphology branch of “plant science”, which ultimately involves the study of life history of plants, including its origin and development, their external and internal structures and the relation of the members of the plant body with one another.—The word ‘puṣpa’ denotes the blossomed stage when the parts of the flower such as petals, stamens etc. are opened and manifested. According to the position of Ovary (bījadhārā) the flowers may be divided into four classes, viz. tunda-maṇḍala, kumbha-maṇḍala, tunga-maṇḍala and vaṭya-maṇḍala. When the petals, stamens (keśara) are united forming a column round the style (varāṭaka) it is called vāṭya-maṇḍala.

Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
1) Vātya (वात्य) refers to “gusts of wind”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.15 (“The penance and reign of Tārakāsura”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated: “[...] At the same time, several phenomena of evil portent forboding misery and distress happened, when the son of Varāṅgī was born making the gods miserable. [...] The earth with all the mountains quaked; the quarters blazed; the rivers and oceans were particularly agitated. The rough wind blew with a hissing noise. Gusts of wind with troops of tempests and dust for banner [i.e., vātya-anīka-rajas-dhvaja] uprooted several trees. [...]”.
2) Vātyā (वात्या) refers to a “stormy whirlwind”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.16 (“The battle of the gods”).—Accordingly, after Viṣṇu spoke to Lakṣmī: “[...] Then the Daityas afflicted by the gusts of wind set in motion by the wings in the speedy flight of the younger brother of Aruṇa (i.e Garuḍa) were blown here and there like the clouds in the sky tossed about in a stormy whirlwind (vātyā-vivartita). Then on seeing the Asuras afflicted by the gusts of wind, Jalandhara rushed against Viṣṇu shouting out cries of bravery angrily. [...]”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
