¹⁸⁷ See Cakrapāṇidatta ad Ca.Śā.3.25. Subscribers to this view are Atrideva (ABI 462–463), the Gulabkunverba team (I, 40–44), P.V. Sharma (AVI 78–79), and Sūramcandra (I, 143–144). It is contested by D. Chattopadhyaya (1979). Some scholars are convinced that one should read, in the opening chapter of the Carakasamhitā, Bharadvāja Kapiṣṭhala instead of Bharadvāja and Kapiṣṭhala (or Kapiñjala); see on this subject: Kapiñjala. An old controversy of another type about the identity of the first Bharadvāja of the Carakasamhitā is settled by Cakrapāṇidatta (ad Ca.Sū.1.30–31), who states that Bharadvāja and Ātreya are not, as some say, identical; Śivadāsasena agrees with Cakrapāṇi.
