Why was cockroach called ‘Tailap’ in Sanskrit?

In Indian tradition, names of creatures were not kept only for identification. Most of the names were created on the basis of their behaviour, qualities and nature. As:

• Sun- Bhaskar (the one who gives light)
• Chandra- Shitanshu (with cool rays)
• Cockroach- Tailapaḥ (attracted towards oil)

That is, ancient Indian scholars were not only knowledgeable about language, but also made a detailed study of nature and the behavior of living beings. Modern entomology also states that cockroaches are most attracted to:

• Oil
• Ghee
• fried food
• greasy surface
• And greasy food remains.

This is the reason why cockroaches are more visible in kitchens, hotels, drains and oily places.

The history of cockroach is millions of years old

Scientists believe that cockroaches are one of the oldest creatures on earth. It is believed that their ancestors were present on Earth even before dinosaurs. This means that cockroaches remained alive even after climate change, meteorites, ice ages and changes in civilizations on Earth. This is the reason why people on the internet have started calling it ‘Ultimate Survivor’.

According to some scientific research, cockroaches adapt themselves even in extremely difficult situations. Their species adapts rapidly. Perhaps that is why they are found in almost every part of human civilization.

Was there deep knowledge of biology in ancient India also?

There is mention of insects, poisonous creatures and environment in Sanskrit texts, Ayurveda and Krishi Shastra. Old texts advise:

• keeping food covered
• keep the kitchen clean
• to control humidity
• and avoid dirt

Modern science also believes that these measures are most effective in cockroach control. That is, not only religious beliefs but also practical science were hidden in the Indian tradition.
