without any reference to Dṛḍhabala’s authorship of the chapter in question creates no difficulty. As observed in § 1, the whole work, inclusive of Dṛḍhabala’s complement, came to be known simply as Charaka’s Compendium; and it is not at all uncommon to find Dṛḍhabala quoted as ‘Charaka’; e. g. by Vijaya Rakshita in his *Madhukośa* (Jīv., 1901), pp. 159, 161, 163.
