53 See Vettam Mani 95. Ātreya is a sadasya at the sarpasattra of Parīkṣit's son (Ādiparvan 53.7–10; ed. Poona; Ādiparvan 48.7–8, crit. ed.); he is mentioned as Vāmadeva's pupil (Vanaparvan 192; ed. Poona), and as the teacher of nirguṇabrahman (Anuśāsanaparvan 137; ed. Poona). Compare S. Sörensen (1963): 99. 54 Vettam Mani 95. 55 Mahābhārata, Vanaparvan 26.8, Bhīṣmaparvan 9.68, Harivamśa 31.14–17 (ed. Poona). S.Ch.

The Tibetan name for Takṣaśilā is Rdo-hjog. 59 See: Jīvaka. 60 The Mahāvagga relates that Jīvaka went to Takṣaśilā to study medicine under a physician of worldwide fame (diśāpāmokkha); this epithet is also given to other teachers in Takṣaśilā, as exemplified by the story told in the Pañcāvudhajātaka (No. 55); see HIM III, 703–725 (compare I.B. Horner, 1962: 380–397) on the story from the Mahāvagga. 61 The Sanskrit version of the *Cīvaravastu (see K.G. Zysk, 1991: 53–54). The same story is found in the Tibetan version (see J.L. Panglung, 1981: 64–65). 62 HIM III, 685–703. W.R.S. Ralston's translation of F. Anton von Schiefner (1988): 92–109. W.W. Rockhill (1991): 64–65: called Atraya instead of Ātreya. A physician called Tīrthika Ātreya, appearing in the Bhaiṣajyavastu of the Tibetan Mūlasarvāstivāda-Vinaya as the court physician of king Bimbisāra, is apparently different from Jīvaka's teacher; he refuses to treat a monk suffering from haemorrhoids, and, compelled to do so by order of the king, carries out the job so carelessly, making the patient suffer, that the Buddha foretold his rebirth in one of the hells (J.L. Panglung, 1981: 17–18). 63 A.F.R. Hoernle (1978): 7–8 (Rockhill is referred to), (1987): I, Intr. 58. Hoernle's identification was accepted by P. Rāy (1956: 60) and seriously considered by S. Ch. Vidyabhusana (1971: 11). The Ātreya of Takṣaśilā is the bhikṣu Ātreya of the Carakasamhitā according to G. Mukhopadhyāya (HIM II, 440). 64 Gulabkunverba I, 53–55. Jyotir Mitra (1982): 18. Māṇakācārya, Kapilākṣa; (1985): 328: Māṇakācārya, Kapilākṣa, Piṅgalākṣa. The Chinese version of the avadāna of Āmrapālī gives his name as A-ti-li Pin-kia-lo, i.e., Atri Piṅgala (E. Chavannes, 1911: III, 334; J. Filliozat, 1975: 8; K.G. Zysk, 1991: 54–55). Kapila and Piṅgala remind one of the colour surnames given to various Ātreyas (see Kṛṣṇātreya).
