In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: archive.org: Vagbhata’s Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (first 5 chapters)Dṛṣṭakarman (दृष्टकर्मन्) refers to “one by whom practice has been seen”, and is mentioned in verse 1.26-27 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Dṛṣṭakarman is susceptible of two equally relevant interpretations: “one by whom practice has been seen” and “one whose practice is tried”. Its Tibetan counterpart las-rnams mthoṅ-źiṅ, too, can be understood either way. The reading mthoṅ-bźiṅ, offered by CD is less satisfactory inasmuch as a present participle would make little sense here.
Source: Shodhganga: The Caraka Saṃhitā and the Suśruta SaṃhitāDṛṣṭakarman (दृष्टकर्मन्) refers to “observation of surgeries”.—Excellence in knowledge comes from attending on preceptors and study of medical scriptures. Suśruta also emphasises on proficiency in theory and practical knowledge as essential requirements of the medical practitioner. Practical experience for a surgeon is gathered through observation of surgeries (dṛṣṭakarman) and having performed them himself (svayaṃkṛta).

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.
