Abstract: Śrīharṣa’s Naiṣadhīyacaritam, a celebrated Mahākāvya of classical Sanskrit literature, is not only a masterpiece of poetic imagination but also a repository of traditional knowledge systems and applied sciences. This research explores the rich references to various applied sciences and disciplines embedded within the text, including Cikitsāśāstra (medical science), Pākaśāstra (culinary science), Aśvaśāstra (equine science), Mantraśāstra (science of mantras), Āyudhaśāstra (military science), Rasāyanaśāstra (chemistry), Prāṇiśāstra (zoology), Bhoutikaśāstra (physics), Gaṇitaśāstra (mathematics), and Rājanītīśāstra (political science). By adopting a multidisciplinary approach, this paper presents Naiṣadhīyacaritam as a crucial source of ancient scientific knowledge and its practical applications in everyday life, offering insights into the intellectual contributions of classical Sanskrit literature to modern interdisciplinary studies. This paper highlights how Naiṣadhīyacaritam serves as a microcosm of applied sciences in pre-modern India, bridging poetic beauty with scholarly rigor. It underscores the need to revisit such literary texts to unravel their contributions to traditional knowledge systems and their relevance in contemporary interdisciplinary studies. By applying modern interdisciplinary analytical approaches, the paper explores how traditional knowledge systems were embedded in literary expressions and their relevance in contemporary scientific discourse. It also seeks to identify the role of science in shaping cultural and intellectual traditions, focusing on the text’s portrayal of human experience through a scientific lens. Through a detailed examination of Śrīharṣa's poetic framework, the research highlights the significant contributions of Indian intellectual traditions to global scientific development and their influence on art, literature, and societal progress.
