18 S. Lévi (1896): 480–482. See G. Liétard (1897a) on the obstetrical skills of this Caraka. J. Filliozat (1975: 14) criticized Liétard's views. See also R.F.G. Müller (1932: 803–808; 1942: 33–34), who is not convinced of the correctness of S. Lévi's interpretation of the obstetrical intervention and quotes an alternative translation by *Wedemeyer (JRAS 1932). The skills of the Caraka described in the Chinese sources resemble those of Jīvaka, whose name is often found in Buddhist literature.
