In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Veterinary Medicine (The study and treatment of Animals)
Yūtha (यूथ) refers to a “herd (of elephants)”, according to the 15th century Mātaṅgalīlā composed by Nīlakaṇṭha in 263 Sanskrit verses, dealing with elephantology in ancient India, focusing on the science of management and treatment of elephants.—[Cf. chapter 1, “on the origin of elephants”]: “[...] 6. On the way the king’s men, whom he dispatched (nunna) to catch the elephants, beheld as they roamed in the jungle a sage Sāmagāyana who was staying in a hermitage. Near by a herd (yūtha) of elephants was grazing; and they saw the glorious hermit Pālakāpya, who was with the elephant herd, but was separated from it at morning, noon, and night. [...]”.

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.
In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Yūtha (यूथ) refers to “assemblages (of Yoginīs)”, according to the 10th-century Ḍākārṇava-tantra: one of the last Tibetan Tantric scriptures belonging to the Buddhist Saṃvara tradition consisting of 51 chapters.—Accordingly: [while explaining the body circle (kāyacakra)]: “[...] Great hell-guardians are always in the eight charnel grounds: (1) Śālmalī, (2) Aśokavṛkṣā, and (3) Pārijātā, (4) Umbarī (for Udumbarī), (5) Ḍombarī, (6) Gambhārī (for Gambhīrī), (7) Bhadirakī (For Badarakī), and (8) Piśācakī. There are also troops of various Vetālas, assemblages (yūtha) of Yoginīs and heroes, a sky-going female, an earth-going female, and also other females who have superhuman powers. [...]”.

Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug. Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha’s words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (vajrayāna) are collected indepently.
