Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: archive.org: Vagbhata’s Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (first 5 chapters)Vayassthāpana (वयस्स्थापन) refers to a “(first-rate) preservative of youth” (i.e., vayasaḥ sthāpanaṃ param), as mentioned in verse 5.37-39 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] [ghee is] recommended for [...] foremost among fats, cooling, (and) a first-rate preservative of youth [viz., vayassthāpana]: [...]: ghee [viz., ghṛta] (is) possessed of a thousand powers (and), by its (many) ways of application, productive of a thousand effects”.
Note: Vayassthāpana [vayasaḥ sthāpanaṃ param] (“a first-rate preservative of youth”), as this phrase must be understood according to the scholiasts [and not “für das Alter das vorzüglichste Stärkungsmittel”, as Hilgenberg & Kirfel put it], has been translated na-thsod ’jog-pai mchog (“the best means of extending youth”); cf. Mahāvyutpatti 7430, where ’jog-pa is equated to prabhāvayanti.
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.
