Cakra refers to the transmigrating ātivāhikaśarīra of Sāmkhya; see on the ātivāhikaśarīra: W.D. O'Flaherty (1980b): 16–17. 65 See Kaviratna's notes on these verses. 66 Daiva and pauruṣa are defined (Ca.Vi.2.44ab). Cf. Ca.Vi.3.29–35. Pravṛtti and nivṛtti are defined too (Ca.Vi.2.44cd); see Cakra's remarks on their interpretation; see on pravṛtti and nivṛtti: G. Bailey (1983): 42–57; O. Strauss (1911). 67 Compare Bhela Śa.6; Su.Sā.3; the garbhāvakrānti chapter of the Śārīrasthāna of the Kāśyapasamhitā. See on the term garbhāvakrānti, its uses and meanings: A. Roṣu (1978): 163, 171, 172, 189; E. Windisch (1908): 31–33. See also R.F.G. Müller (1963c) and Kaviratna's remarks. 68 See on jīva in the Carakasamhitā: E. Windisch (1908): 52–56. 69 Cakra emphasizes (ad Ca.Vi.3.25) that this Bharadvāja is not the one who is mentioned in Ca.Sū.1 as Ātreya's teacher. 70 See on these six factors: A. Roṣu (1978): 172; M. Sinha and P.V. Tewari (1992); E. Windisch (1908): 52. The same set of six bhāvas is known to the Samgītaratnākara (1.2.44). Sattva is mentioned as an associated factor (aupapāduka), a term recurring at Ca.Vi.3.13 and 14; Cakra explains it as the factor producing the link between the ātman and a body. E. Windisch (1908): 52 was struck by the juxtaposition of ātman and sattva; he regarded the latter as a term of Buddhist origin. The Bhelasamhitā (Śa.6.1) employs aupapāduka in the same meaning as Caraka's aupapāduka; sattva is called aupapāduka in the Kāśyapasamhitā (73). See on aupapāduka and related terms (aupapāduka in Buddhist hybrid Sanskrit; opapātika in Pali; uvavāiya in Jain Prakrit): E. Hultzsch (1919); A. Roṣu (1978): 180–193; J. Takakusu (1966): 3; E. Windisch (1908): 184–194. 71 Tvac replaces the more usual rasa in this list. See S.W. Jamison (1986). 72 The Vedic term for the large intestine is vaniṣṭhu (see J. Filliozat, 1975: 126; J. Schwab, 1886: 128–129). 73 Cakra remarks that the vapāvahana is called tailavartikā (compare Cakra ad Ca.Śa.7.10 and Vi.5.8). Compare Mahābhārata, Śāntiparvan 305.6 (ed. Poona); Agnipurāṇa 369.31–32ab and 370.20ab; Samgītaratnākara 1.2.45. See on the vapā in Vedic literature: J. Filliozat (1975): 126; J. Schwab (1886): 111–121. 74 Compare Mahābhārata, Śāntiparvan 305.5 (ed. Poona); Agnipurāṇa 369.32cd and 370.19cd; Samgītaratnākara 1.2.46. 75 See on this concept of the ātman: E. Windisch (1908): 53. 76 See on the technical meaning of this term: G. Oberhammer (1991): 112–115. See also: M. Biardeau (1964). 77 Compare Samgītaratnākara 1.2.48. 78 Compare Samgītaratnākara 1.2.56ab. 79 Compare Samgītaratnākara 1.2.47. 80 Ca.Śa.3.13 uses the rare term spṛkśarīra (see A. Roṣu, 1978: 180). Compare Ca.Śa.3–13 and Su.Śa.3.3. 81 The four classes of organisms are mentioned: jarāyuja (placentalia), aṇḍaja (oviparous animals), svedaja (organisms generated from moisture) and udbhijja (organisms generated from the earth). See Cakra's comments on this classification, already known to the Aitareyopaniṣad (3.3), and also found in the Manusmṛti (1.4–46) and many other works; a less common threefold scheme (aṇḍaja, jīvaja, ubbhijja) occurs in the Chāndogyopaniṣad (6.3.1). Cf. Su.Sū.1.22; Bhela Śa.4.4 and 5.2. The four classes
