482 Superiority and inferiority with regard to place, time, age (vayas), measure (māna), (vi)-pāka, vīrya, taste, etc., are meant (26.31). See Cakra's comments: paratva = pradhānatva, aparatva = apradhānatva; examples are given; an alternative interpretation is that on Vaiśeṣika lines: paratva = vidūrasambandha (relative distantness), aparatva = samnikṛṣṭasambandha (relative proximity). 483 Absent from the Vaiśeṣika lists. Defined by Cakra as the proper preparation of medicines, having regard to the doṣa(s) involved (in the disease), etc. (doṣadyapekṣayā bheṣajasya samīcīnakalpanā). 484 Four types are distinguished: dvandvaja, sarvaja, ekakarmaja, and anitya (26.32). Cakra's examples are taken from the *Praśastapādabhāṣya* on the Vaiśeṣikasūtras. See P.V. Sharma's criticisms (1985e: 218) of Cakra's comments. Cf. Ca.Vi.1.22 and Śā.7.17. 485 Three kinds of vibhāga are mentioned: vibhakti, viyoga and bhāgaśo grahaḥ. See P.V. Sharma (1985e): 218–219; Jyotir Mitra (1982): 214–215. Cf. Ca.Śā.7.17. 486 Three types are mentioned: asaṃyoga, vailakṣaṇya and anekatā. Cakra's examples are from Praśastapāda's commentary again. See P.V. Sharma's critical notes (1985e: 219). 487 Cf. Ca.Vi.1.22; Su.Sū.42.3. 488 See G.J. Meulenbeld (1987): 6–7; P.V. Sharma (1985d): 46–47. 489 Cf. Ca.Sū.26.74–79; Vi.8.139–144; Su.Sū.42.10. 490 See Cakra's comments and P.V. Sharma's (1985e: 224–225) critical notes. 491 See on vipāka: C. Chaturvedi (1973); DGV I, 199–221; G.J. Meulenbeld (1987): 9–11; P.V.
