In Hinduism
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Source: Wisdom Library: Nāṭya-śāstraViprakīrṇa (विप्रकीर्ण) refers to a gesture (āṅgika) made with ‘dance hands’ (nṛttahasta), according to the Nāṭyaśāstra chapter 8. The hands (hasta) form a part of the human body which represents one of the six major limbs (aṅga) used in dramatic performance. With these limbs are made the various gestures (āṅgika), which form a part of the histrionic representation (abhinaya).

Natyashastra (नाट्यशास्त्र, nāṭyaśāstra) refers to both the ancient Indian tradition (shastra) of performing arts, (natya—theatrics, drama, dance, music), as well as the name of a Sanskrit work dealing with these subjects. It also teaches the rules for composing Dramatic plays (nataka), construction and performance of Theater, and Poetic works (kavya).
Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: archive.org: Vagbhata’s Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (first 5 chapters)Viprakīrṇa (विप्रकीर्ण) refers to “scattered” and is mentioned in verse 1.4 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—The word viprakīrṇa (and its equivalent ’thor-ba) should be interpreted to mean, not “umfangreich” as Hilgenbebg & Kirfel have it, but “scattered” as the commentators suggest; see Aruṇadatta’s paraphrase “vikṣiptebhya uccāvacoktārthatayaivetaścetaśca gatebhyo ’ta eva kaścid evārthaḥ kasmād em tantrāntarāj jñāyate”—“dispersed, gone hither and thither because of the diversity of subjects treated so that every subject is known from another work”. For ’thor-ba CD have substituted ’thob-pa, which occurs only as the future of thob-pa “to gain”; but this makes no sense in the present contest.
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.
