In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: Research Gate: On Fish in Manasollasa (c. 1131 AD)Marila (मरिल) refers to a type of fish identified with Channa marulius Ham., as mentioned in the 12th-century Mānasollāsa or Abhilaṣitārthachintāmaṇi, an ancient Sanskrit text describing thirty-five kinds of marine and fresh water fishes.—Regarding Marila, the nearest word in Sanskrit is maraal [marāla] which means soft, tender, or yellowish red. It has been described as a scaly, medium-sized fish. Its name appears with riverine fishes and also Someshvardeva mentions that crabs have to be fed to this fish, obviously in a pond. Hora (1951) identified it to be Ophicephalus striatus Bloch. Because a very similar fish is called maral in Marathi, we suggest marila to be Channa (Ophicephalus) marulius Ham., which is a murrel. This fish makes excellent food.
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.
