The Mādhavanidāna, for example, contains many verses, taken from the Suśrutasaṃhitā, which present variants. Part of these variants are recorded in Ḍalhaṇa’s Nibandhasaṃgraha, but others are absent there and would have remained unknown otherwise. The same applies to the quotations in the Madhukośa on the Mādhavanidāna.262 Another treatise containing quotations from Suśruta which present variants, as well as a number of untraceable passages in prose and verse attributed to Suśruta, is Anantakumāra’s Yogaratnasamuccaya.263
