Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: archive.org: Vagbhata’s Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (first 5 chapters)Jaladāmbu (जलदाम्बु) refers to “nut-grass water”, as mentioned in verse 3.23 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] one shall together with friends drink unvitiated āsava and ariṣṭa liqueur, rum, wine, and mead mixed with mango juice, offered by one’s love after (her) having tasted (them), [...] (moreover) ginger water, essence water, honey water, or nut-grass water [viz., jaladāmbu]. In groves cooled by southerly winds, discharging water on all sides, [...]”.
Note: Jalada, prop, “water-giver, rain-cloud”, is according to the scholiasts a synonym of musta or mustā (“nut-grass”), and consequently has been reproduced by gla-sgaṅ (for which NP offer the unattested spelling bla-sgaṅ). It is certainly wrong to understand jaladāmbu in the sense of “Regenwasser”, as Hilgenberg & Kirfel do.
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.
