v1.c26.s3.84

Agniveśa requests Punarvasu to explain to him which fruits may profitably be used in clysters (Ka.5.57). The stanzas giving Punarvasu’s opinion on the subject agree literally with some found in the Siddhisthāna of the *Carakasaṃhitā*,³³⁹ where not Agniveśa, but a group of other sages approach the son of Atri (= Ātreya Punarvasu) with an identical question. Some more verses from the same chapters are clearly related to each other as well.³⁴⁰
