Hilgenberg and Kirfel 245 and C. Vogel 246 also mentioned the elaborate mythical story about the origin of fever in the Aṣṭāṅgasaṃgraha (Ci.1.4) as a characteristically Hinduist feature. The numerous details given by Vāgbhaṭa, absent from Carakasaṃhitā and Suśrutasaṃhitā, and obviously from some unidentified source, are remarkable indeed. The Hṛdaya omits all the details and is very concise on the subject (Ci.2.1–2).
