2. There exist two recensions of this statement. One is printed in Jīvānanda's edition of the Compendium, p. 331, paragraphs 15 and 16 (Calcutta, 1889), as well as in all other editions with which I am acquainted; e. g. in the editions of Madhusūdana Gupta, p. 339 (Calcutta, 1834), of Prabhuram Jīvanaram, p. 481, paragraphs 18–21 (Bombay, 1901), Vīrasvāmi (Madras). The other occurs in Gaṅgādhar's Commentary (called *Jalpa-kalpataru*) on the Compendium of Charaka, p. 188, lines 5–14 (Berhampore, 1879, see § 3). These two recensions differ so widely from each other that it becomes necessary once again to inquire into their respective authorization.
