J. Takakusu 294 suggested that the Suśrutasaṃhitā might be meant and pointed to the very similar series of the eight branches in that treatise, when compared with I-ching’s enumeration. J. Jolly, 295 not wanting to exclude this option, collected some additional data in support 296 of the hypothesis that a treatise closely related to the Suśrutasaṃhitā might be the book in question; however, not feeling sure of this, he brought forward, as an alternative solution, that it could be some version of the Aṣṭāṅgasaṃgraha, still nearer to Suśruta than the one known to us.
