Indian Medicine (Medicin), translated by C. G. Kashikar c8.18

c8.18

One of the authors cited by Virasimha is Tisaṭācārya, the composer of *Cikitsākalikā*²¹, a complete text-book of medicine in which, among other things, Nāḍīparīkṣā is included. Since Tisaṭācārya mentions Bhoja as one of his predecessors, he belongs to our period, if the well known king Bhoja of Dhara ( 11th century ) is meant. His work is commented upon by his son Candraṭa whose some other medical works are still available.
