308 See on this problem also: B.L. Śarmā (1984). 309 Cakrapāṇi ad Ca.Si.12.39. The number of diseases of the mouth, recognized by Dṛḍhabala, is sixty-four (Ci.26.122); this number disagrees with Suśruta and Bhoja (see Su.Ni.16.3 and Gayaḍāsa's commentary); the source of Dṛḍhabala's number is unknown. Dṛḍhabala repeatedly refers to a śālākyatantra (e.g., Ca.Ci.30.123). 310 Ca.Ci.5.69–70 = Su.U.42.27–28. Ca.Ci.26.113cd–114 = Su.U.22.6–7ab: this verse was borrowed from the Suśrutasamhitā according to Atrideva (ABI 159). P. Cordier (1901d: 164) regarded a verse of Ci.30 as an addition of Dṛḍhabala, taken from the Suśrutasamhitā; some other verses, with parallels in Suśruta's work, are supposed to be borrowed, the other way round, by Nāgārjuna, considered to be the author of the Uttaratantra (P. Cordier, 1899a: 1). 311 Gulabkunverba I, 105: Sū.11.56–63 is not in tune with the contents of the chapter as a whole. 312 These prose portions are reminiscent of Bāṇa's style (AVI 108; P.V.Sharma, 1970a: 68). 313 AVI 112. P.V. Sharma points to parallels of Ca.Sū.25.40–41 in the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa (1.56) and Bhagavadgītā. 314 ABI 163. Compare, on the same subject, the Suśrutasamhitā (Sū.45.21–23). 315 ABI 159–160. P. Cordier (1903b: 328–329. Gulabkunverba I, 105. Atrideva (ABI 159–160) points to the unusual position of the table of contents at the end of the Sūtrasthāna. 316 A.F.R. Hoernle (1908) regards Ca.Ni.3.3–5 and 16–17 as additions of Dṛḍhabala. Ni.3.3–5 are in his opinion suspect because they duplicate Ni.3.18 and refer to the contents of the chapter in a wrong order (pūrvarūpa precedes liṅga); Ni.3.16–17 are verses on treatment, out of place in a chapter on nidāna; Ni.3.17 is a versified duplicate of Ni.3.16. Hoernle's claim that treatment are out of place in a chapter on nidāna is not tenable; his argument that Ni.3.16–17 consist of quotations from the Aṣṭāṅgasaṃgraha (Ci.16.3) and Siddhayoga (30.2) is altogether unfounded. 317 Gulabkunverba I, 105: Vi.3.40–44 and 46–48 are not in tune with the subject of the chapter and not referred to in the recapitulatory verses. Vi.3.47–48 are placed between brackets in several editions. 318 AVI 111. P.V.Sharma (1970a): 74. 319 R.F.G. Müller (1951): 21. 320 I.12.71cd–80ab. P.V. Sharma (1970a: 68; AVI 108) says that a list of these items belongs to the Gupta period. 321 Ci.3.311–312. AVI 108–109; P.V. Sharma (1970a): 68–69; (1992d): 195: the Viṣṇusahasranāmastotra appears in the Gupta period; Ca.Ci.3.311cd is an ardhaśloka also found in the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa (2.110.12cd); carācarapatim vibhum of Caraka is replaced by carācaragurum harim; the next ardhaśloka is identical with Ca.Ci.3.312ab. 322 A.F.R. Hoernle (1908; 1006–1027) put forward that Ci.5.1–17 are due to Dṛḍhabala, because these verse duplicate the contents of the Nidāna chapter on gulma (Ni.3); the same applies, in his view, to Ci.5.169–171, the proper place of which would be at the end of Ni.3, and Ci.5.172–182, which are concerned with the type of gulma caused by blood, a disorder not described in Ni.3; Ci.5.183–189, summarizing verses thought to be additions of Dṛḍhabala, cannot be attributed to Caraka either. Verses, also ascribed to Dṛḍhabala in Hoernle's article, are Ci.5.137–141 (on the cupping of gulma by phlegm), 102 (referring to the Siddhisthāna and Ci.26), 132 (referring to the Siddhisthāna) and 161–163 (referring to Ci.14 and 15).
