Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: archive.org: Vagbhata’s Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (first 5 chapters)Udamantha (उदमन्थ) refers to “drizzle”, mentioned in verse 3.47-48 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] River-water, water-mix [viz., udamantha], sleep in the day-time, exertion, and sunshine one shall eschew”.
Note: Udamantha (“water-mix”) has been represented by sbyar skyo-ma (“mixed pap”), sbyor skyo-me in C and sbyar spyo-ma in P being simply xylographical errors. According to a Nighaṇṭu śloka cited by Indu:—“groats oiled with ghee (and) charged with cold water, neither too liquid nor too solid, (are) called udamantha”.
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.
