Ayurveda (science of life)
: archive.org: Vagbhata’s Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (first 5 chapters)ǰ첹ٳ (लोकवार्त्त�) refers to “talk on wordly matters�.—Cf. Ҵṣṭī첹ٳ mentioned in verse 3.25 of the ṣṭṅgṛdⲹṃh (Sūtrasthāna) by 岵ṭa.—[...] Regarding ṣṭī첹ٳ the commentators are at variance among themselves: Aruṇadatta understands it as “conversation (accompanied) with amusement”�(goṣṭhyām krīḍāyā� kathā�); Candranandana as “entertainment with song, tabor, etc.”�(goṣṭhyo gāndharvamṛdaṅgādibhi�) and “conversation on poetry� (屹ⲹ첹ٳ�); Hemādri as “talk on wordly matters� (ǰ첹ٳ�) and “talk on religious [scientific] works� (śٰٳ�); and Indu as “conversation held in the company of witty people”�(vidaghdhānām āsanabandho goṣṭhī tasyā� kṛtā� kathā�). The Tibetan comes closest to this last interpretation, translating dga-’dun gtam (“conversation held in pleasant company�).

Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम� (ṃsṛt), 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.
