*p.14.l.33*—There is one more commentator, Gayadāsa, who wrote comms. both on Suśruta and Caraka, viz. Nyāyacandrikā or Pañjikā and Carakacandrikā respectively. Ḍallaṇa in his Nibandha-saṃgraha comm. on Su quotes from Gayadāsa's comm. on the same. Gayadāsa's fragmentary comm. on Su is printed. He belonged to Bengal and adorned the Royal court of Mahīpāla, one of the great Pala kings. He flourished in the 10th cen. A. D. cf.
