² In *Caraka Saṃhitā*, *Cikitsita Sthāna*, ch. xxvi, ver. 222 (Jīv., p. 761). The edition published by the two Sens reads seventy-six (p. 884, l. 4); but this is a mere reprint from Gaṅgādhar's Berhampore edition (p. 575), for which there is no known manuscript authority. It appears to be an 'emendation' of Gaṅgādhar himself. All existing MSS. read ninety-six; e. g. Tübingen MSS., No. 458, fol. 632 *a*, l. 2; and No. 459, fol. 216 *b*, l. 5; India Office MSS., No. 335, fol. 419 *b*, l. 1, and No. 359, fol. 153 *a*, l. 7; Deccan College MS., No. 925, fol. 334 *a*, l. 6.
