Candranandana's Madanādinighaṇṭu is not quoted by name, but the synonyms of medicinal plants, given in the commentary, are usually those found in that nighaṇṭu,¹⁴⁰ whereas Aruṇadatta obviously drew his information from another source. With regard to the names of plants, Hemādri remains closer to Candranandana than Aruṇadatta does. In other respects, Aruṇadatta was heavily indebted to Candranandana, since many parts of his commentary are literally copied from the Padārthacandrikā.¹⁴¹
