Vidya.'s edition (Calcutta 1876 with Madhukosa pp. 443) is used. Out of the recent numerous editions mention may be made of U. C. Dutt's Nidana (2nd edition, Calcutta 1880) which is important on account of its English translation of many names of diseases added to it. To this and other editions a Bengali translation is added. Others contain Hindi, Marathi or Sinhalese translations. (7) Cf. Diets, Anal. Med. p. 118; Wilson JRAS 6, 118; Haas, ZDMG 30, 662, 652 ff.; A. F. Muller, l. c. 34, 475; Dutt, Mat. Med.

(8) The joint authorship of Srikanthadatta is confirmed by a comparison of sources of Madhukosa (put together in IO 934) with authors used in Srikanthadatta's commentary on Vrnda. An old MS of Madhukosa is written in 1529 A. D. (Oxf 357) cf. also the Addenda.
