In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
: archive.org: Vagbhata’s Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (first 5 chapters)ʳܰDZٲ (पुरोवा�) refers to “easterly wind�, mentioned in verse 3.54-55 of the ṣṭṅgṛdⲹṃh (Sūtrasthna) by 岵ṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] Dew, alkali, surfeit, curds, sesame-oil, lard, hot sun,—pungent liquor, sleep in the day-time, and easterly wind [viz., ܰDZٲ] one shall eschew. [...]�.
Note: ʳܰDZٲ (“easterly wind�) has been rendered by mdun-gyi (b)ser-bu (“easterly cold wind�), with bser-bu (“cold wind�) corrupted in P to bsil-bu (“coolness�) ( ?). In 2.40 (q.v.) the same expression is, in spite of the commentaries, more likely to denote frontal wind.

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.

(a) Bahukarṇik is that in which deer are hunted by the hurling of a trident or a similar weapon by two or three persons standing to the windward (ܰDZٲ) and shouting at the top of their voices�.

This section covers the skills and profiencies of the Kalas (“performing arts�) and Shastras (“sciences�) involving ancient Indian traditions of sports, games, arts, entertainment, love-making and other means of wordly enjoyments. Traditionally these topics were dealt with in Sanskrit treatises explaing the philosophy and the justification of enjoying the pleasures of the senses.
