v1.c23.s2.40
The appearance of a king of Kāśī as a medical expert is not a unique feature of the *Suśrutasaṃhitā*. Other royal sages, connected with Kāśī, such as Vāmaka 192 and Vāryovida, are known from the *Caraka*- and *Kāśyapasaṃhitā*, though without being characterized as surgeons. Both Vāmaka and Vāryovida are conspicuously absent from the *Suśrutasaṃhitā*.
