231 The same number is found in the Kāśyapasamhitā (p.66). The Bhelasamhitā does not mention the number of muscles. The number is five hundred in men and twenty more in women according to the Suśrutasamhitā (Śā.5.37–41), two hundred in men and twenty more in women according to Vāgbhaṭa (A.h.Śā.3.17cd–18ab; A.s.Śā.5.54–57). The Samgitaratnākara (1.2.97) prefers the number of five hundred in men and twenty more in women. The number of peśīs is seven hundred in elephants (Hastyāyurveda III.6). The Visuddhimagga acknowledges a number of nine hundred (J.R. Haldar, 1977: 38–39; Jyotir Mitra, 1985: 75). See C. Chakraberty (1923): 20–27; P. Kutumbiah (1969): 18–23; Samjñāpañcakavimarśa 1–12.
