Bailey (1983): 61–62; A. Holtzmann (1884): 207; J.E. Mitchiner (1982); H.H. Wilson's translation of the Viṣṇupurāṇa (42–43). 115 This statement may be remarkable, because Brahmā is often identified with the ahaṃkāra (see G. Bailey, 1983). See on ahaṃkāra: M. Biardeau (1965); J.A.B. van Buitenen (1957a). See on ahaṃkāra in the Carakasamhitā: A. Roṣu (1978). 116 The solar deity in this context. 117 Compare Ca.Sū.6.4–8; ādāna is the characteristic of the half of the year in which the sun courses northwards (udagayana, uttarāyaṇa). Cakra explains ādāna by grahaṇa (grasping). 118 See on these deities, usually eight in number, for example: Dowson; A.T. Gopinatha Rao (1971): II, 2, 550–553; Hopkins; M. and J. Stutley (1977). 119 See on these deities: H.W. Bodewitz (1973): 88–89; L. Renou (1963). 120 See on Ca.Śā.5.5: A. Roṣu (1978): 133–134. Compare the adhyātmadevatās of the Bhelasaṃhitā (Śā.7.8). 121 See on the meaning of loka in this context: A. Roṣu (1978): 136. 122 Sarvaloko 'ham iti viditvā. 123 Compare Ca.Śā.2.44cd on these terms. 124 Compare Buddhacarita 12.24 (and the notes in E.H. Johnston's translation). 125 Compare Cakra ad Ca.Sū.1.49. 126 These secretions are not called mala when they serve to lubricate body canals (srotas), says Cakra. 127 Excessive pāka occurs when the transforming fires are too great in intensity. Cakra remarks that some read aparipakva, which would mean that dhātus loaded with too much immature matter (āma) are included into the malas. 128 Cakra says that excitation denotes both increase and decrease; this meaning of (pra)kopa would be very unusual. 129 Cakra remarks that faeces, etc., if not exceeding their proper measure, should be included. 130 Or the guda in the vicinity of the pakvāśaya, i.e., the uttaraguda (Cakra). 131 One of these is the ojas (Cakra). 132 Cf. Bhela Śā.4.30; Su.Śā.3.32. 133 Cf. Bhela Śā.4.32. 134 Explained as niṣyanda (oozing out) by Cakra; he characterizes it as dhātuniṣyanda in his comments ad Ca.Śā.4.27. The term upasneha is used in the same context in the Suśrutasaṃhitā (Śā.3.31) and Aṣṭāṅgasaṃgraha (Śā.2.16, 17). It also occurs at Su.Ni. 7.6cd–7ab, where Gayadāsa and Ḍalhaṇa regard it as the transudation, the leakage of fluids, from a new pitcher. Compare the Madhukośa ad Mādhavanidāna 35.21–24, where upasneha elucidates the pathological processes in parisrāvyudara and dakodara. 135 The term is used in the same context at Ca.Śā.4.27, where Cakra compares it with the hatching of eggs. Compare A.S.Śā.2.16. 136 Cakra says that it is called amarā in the vernacular; compare Cakra ad Ca.Śā.3.6, where he equates jarāyu with amarā (incorrectly, according to P.V. Sharma's critical notes). Compare also Ḍalhaṇa ad Su.Śā.4.24 (aparā = amalā or amarā) and Ci.15.17 (aparā = jarāyu = āvala); Aruṇa ad A.h.Śā.1.84 (jarāyu = aparā) and 2.39 (aparā = jarāyu); glosses ad Bhāvaprakāśa, cikitsā 3.206 (aparā = śrīvara) and 70.131 (aparā = ǎmbara). 137 Cf. Ca.Śā.4.27; Su.Śā.3.31. 138 Cf. Ca.Vi.3.38. 139 Cf. Bhela Śā.7; Su.Śā.7.
