The earliest treatise to incorporate numerous verses taken from either Saṃgraha or Hṛdaya is the Mādhavanidāna. Several chapters of the Nidānasthānas of Saṃgraha and Hṛdaya are identical, which makes it impossible to decide which of the two was employed as a source. Stanzas that can only be from the Hṛdaya, because the corresponding chapter of the Saṃgraha is in prose, are, fortunately, not rare at all,⁵⁰⁵ which proves that the Hṛdaya was known to Mādhava.
