86 Five kinds prepared with the drugs of the vidārigandhādi group (see Ca.Ci.1¹.42) and one with a kaṣāya of harītakī. Cf. Bhela Ka.8.6–10ab. 87 Cf. Bhela Ka.8.10cd–13ab. 88 Lehas of the same type as those prepared with lodhra (= tilvaka). Compare Ca.Ka.9.11cd–13. 89 The same type of surā as that with lodhra (= tilvaka); see Ca.Ka.9.8cd. Five kinds of preparation with madya are referred to at the end of the chapter (11.18); cf. Bhela Ka.8.20–22. The other four, prepared with a fermented liquid (samdhāna) are described at Ca.Ka.11.17. 90 This preparation is of the same type as that with tilvaka (see Ca.Ka.9.10cd–11ab). 91 These four form part of the five kinds of madya (Ca.Ka.11.18). 92 Cf. Bhela Ka.7. See on the uses of dantī: P.V. Sharma (1996): 182–183, on those of dravantī: the same, 197. 93 The method of preparation is the one called puṭapāka, although that term is not employed. 94 Cakra is of the opinion that four preparations are meant, made with a sīdhu of priyāla, kola, badara and pīlu; P.V. Sharma agrees with him. The summary (Ca.Ka.12.36) mentions five preparations; the number of five is required in order to obtain a total of forty-eight. Cakra obtains this total by supposing that seven kinds of leha are described (see his comments ad Ca.Ka.12.16). 95 See on the term abhikhinna (v.l. abhiṣyanna) (i.e., by the dosas), used in this verse: Jyotir Mitra (1985): 335–336; K.G. Zysk (1991): 108–110, 124–127. 96 Rasa has the same meaning as yūṣa here, as is clear from Cakra's comments (he refers to kṛtākṛtarasa = kṛtākṛtayūṣa, on which see: G.J. Meulenbeld, 1974: 492–493). 97 Cakra supposes, because lāva and vartirāka are followed by -ādya, that a series of eight birds is meant, listed at Ca.Sū.27.47. The summary (12.37) mentions a number of three preparations. 98 A gruel. See G.J. Meulenbeld (1974): 476–477. 99 More than one kind of madya may be prepared. 100 The term āsava is not employed in these verses; instead, ariṣṭa (Ca.Ka.12.32), gauḍa (12.32 and 33) and madirā (12.34) are referred to. 101 The same kind of surā as made with lodhra (= tilvaka) (see Ca.Ka.9.8cd). 102 The same type of preparation as that with lodhra (Ca.Ka.9.16cd–11. 103 The verses describing these five ghees are absent. The four verses (Ca.Ka.12.36–39) listing the forty-eight preparations are spurious. They are followed by a verse (12.40) mentioning three groups of sixteen formulations; Cakra explains in his commentary the composition of these three groups. 104 See Cakra's remarks. See P.V. Sharma (1994): 243. 105 Also called trasareṇuka or dhūli according to Cakra. 106 See on taṇḍula: A.M. Shastri (1969): 339; S. Srinivasan (1979): 102. 107 Compare on yava: S. Srinivasan (1979): 101. 108 See on māṣaka: A.M. Shastri (1969): 340. 109 See on karṣa: A.M. Shastri (1969): 340. 110 See on pala: A.M. Shastri (1969): 340–341; S. Srinivasan (1979): 93–94, 106–107. 111 See on muṣṭi: S. Srinivasan (1979): 70–71, 107. 112 Also called prasṛti. See S. Srinivasan (1979): 71. 113 See on añjali: S. Srinivasan (1979): 71. 114 See on kuḍava: A.M. Shastri (1969): 341; S. Srinivasan (1979): 71.
