v1.c26.s3.57

A similar state of affairs is met with elsewhere. Niścalakara remarks that a particular prescription (Cakradatta, gulma 40) comes from the Yogaśata, where it is found indeed (22), but it forms part of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdaya as well. Śivadāsasena, also a commentator on the Cakradatta, and, moreover, one who bases his work on that of Niścala, attributes the recipe to Vāgbhaṭa, which proves that he regarded the Hṛdaya as the more original source.
