MĀṆḌAVYA⁵² is mentioned as the author of a medical treatise in the Aṣṭāṅgasaṃgraha (Sū.1.11). He is traditionally regarded as the author of a treatise on rasāyana.⁵³ Medical works referring to Māṇḍavya are Kapilamiśra’s Nāḍīprabodhana and Ugrāditya’s Kalyāṇakāraka. The latter work knows him as a sage who was opposed to a non-vegetarian diet. Pālakāpya’s Hastyāyurveda knows Māṇḍavya as one of the sages assembled at Romapāda’s court in order to be instructed in the art of hastyāyurveda.
