The Materia Medica of the Hindus, compiled from Sanskrit Medical Works c3.35

c3.35

The Bengali equivalents of the Sanskrit terms in the glossary have been taken mainly from Sir Rájá Rádhákánta Deva's Encyclopædia of Sanskrit learning entitled the Sabdakalpadruma. The Hindi names have been obtained from the vernaculars given in the Bhávaprakása; the Amrita-ságar, a Hindi translation of a treatise on Sanskrit medicine; and the Kesava-binoda-bhásá Nirghantu, a Hindi treatise on therapeutics translated from the Sanskrit by Pandit Kesava-prasáda Dvivedi of the Agra College.
