: Wisdom Library: Raj Nighantuṛt (मृत्स्ना) or Mṛt refers to “good clay� or “earth� and is mentioned in a list of synonyms for ṛtٲ (“clay�), according to the second chapter (ṇy徱-) of the 13th-century Raj Nighantu or Rājanighaṇṭu (an Ayurvedic encyclopedia). The Dharaṇyādi-varga covers the lands, soil [viz., ṛt], mountains, jungles and vegetation’s relations between trees and plants and substances, with their various kinds.
Agriculture (Krishi) and Vrikshayurveda (study of Plant life)
: Shodhganga: Drumavichitrikarnam—Plant mutagenesis in ancient IndiaṛtԲ (मृत्स्�) refers to “earth� (suitable for sowing seeds), as prescribed by certain bio-organical recipes for plant mutagenesis, according to the ṛkṣҳܰ岹 by Sūrapāla (1000 CE): an encyclopedic work dealing with the study of trees and the principles of ancient Indian agriculture.—Accordingly, “The seed of Cordia dichotoma should be forced out and cultured seven times in the flesh (oil) of Alangium salviifolium and then it should be rubbed with the dung of she-buffalo and dried in shade. If these seeds are mixed in dry buffalo dung and earth (ṛtԲ-ܰٲ) and sown and watered with coconut water (gale water?) they turn into a plant of Nymphaea alba or Nymphaea nouchali and there is no wonder�.

: archive.org: Vagbhata’s Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (first 5 chapters)ṛtԲ (मृत्स्�) refers to “soft� and is mentioned in verse 1.12 of the ṣṭṅgṛdⲹṃh (Sūtrasthāna) by 岵ṭa.—Ślakṣṇa and ṛtԲ are hardly separable from each other without difficulty. In PO xxiv p. 35, we had understood them to mean “slimy� (~picchila) and “soft� (~ṛd), tacitly equating śṣṇ with ’bⲹ-- “a trifle sticky� and ṛtԲ with ’j “soft� (which, in itself, is quite possible). On second thought, however, it seems more likely that śṣṇ corresponds to ’j and ṛtԲ to ’bⲹ--, particularly since Aruṇadatta and Candranandana (whose commentaries we had not at our disposal when writing the above article) explain śṣṇ with 貹ṣa “not rough� and ṛtԲ with �ṛdyamāno ’ṅguligrāhī picchilaguṇayayuktaś cakacakāyamāna�”—[v. 1. 첹첹ⲹԲ�] “sticking to the fingers when squeezed, endowed with a slimy quality, glimmering�.

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.
Kavya (poetry)
: archive.org: Naisadhacarita of Sriharsaṛt (मृत्स्ना) refers to “mud� (in a commendatory sense), and is mentioned in the Naiṣadha-carita 11.86.—Cf. Dvisandhānakāya 3.7.

Kavya (काव्�, kavya) refers to Sanskrit poetry, a popular ancient Indian tradition of literature. There have been many Sanskrit poets over the ages, hailing from ancient India and beyond. This topic includes mahakavya, or ‘epic poetry� and natya, or ‘dramatic poetry�.

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.
