The data collected so far does not give us a clear picture of Dṛḍhabala’s methods in completing and revising the extant parts of the Carakasaṃhitā. We cannot even be sure that the MSS and editions faithfully reproduce his text. Aruṇadatta and Śrīdāsapaṇḍita quote fourteen verses of Dṛḍhabala, the first one of which only is found in our text of the Carakasaṃhitā, 514 which may be interpreted as pointing to either an originally longer version or later additions.
