v1.c20.s2.3

The only work of Agniveśa to be taken into consideration 149 is the *Agniveśatantra*, at least insofar as human medicine is concerned. A related science, claiming Agniveśa as one of its experts, is elephantology (gajaśāstra). His name appears in this context in Godāvaramiśra’s *Hariharacaturaṅga*, 150 Nīlakaṇṭha’s *Mātaṅgalīlā*, 151 Pālakāpya’s *Hastyāyurveda*, 152 and Śivarāmabhūpati’s *Kalpanāratna*. 153 A MS of a *Hastiśāstra* by Agniveśa is referred to by Atrideva. 154
