v1.c20.s3.7

The Gulabkunverba team agrees in opting for chapter twenty-three on the basis of Vijayarakṣita’s quotation from it, and on account of Jejjaṭa’s mention of Caraka as the author of chapter twenty-five; the chapter colophons are disregarded. 294 Birajācaraṇ Sengupta, as quoted by G. Mukhopadhyaya,295 accepts Jīvānanda’s views, with one exception: the dvivraṇīya chapter is by Dṛḍhabala, the udara chapter by Caraka.296 The majority of other scholars subscribe to the inferences derived from the evidence.297
