338 Kane I.1, 22–38. . 339 See: J.E. Mitchiner (1982: 182): Gautama taught the science of archery (dhanurveda) to his son Krpa. See on Gautama and jyotiṣa: Pingree's CESS A 2, 145; A 3, 35–36; A 4, 87; A 5, 102. Compare on authors called Gotama and Gautama: NCC VI, 117 and 222–233. 340 NCC VI, 222. K.K. Handiqui (1949): 454–455. 341 See R.C. Majumdar (1971): 255 on the contents of this treatise on gavāyurveda. Gaṇanātha Sena (1924: I, 40) calls this Gautamasamhitā. 342 NCC VI, 222. 343 Bhagwan Dash and Lalitesh Kashyap (1980a): Intr. 4–5. Gaṇanātha Sena (1924: I, 27. Gulabkunverba I, 145. S.K. Mishra (1992): 313. P.V. Sharma (AVI 154). H. Parāḍkar (16) ascribes a śalyatantra to Subhūtigautama, and O.P. Jaggi (IV, 21) to Subhūtigotama. An authority called Svabhūti is quoted by Śivadāsasena ad Ca.Sū.8.19. 344 Kavīndrācāryasūcipatram Nr. 938. NCC VI, 230. 345 A.s.Sū.8.85cd-86ab describes an alexipharmic of Gautama, quoted by Hemādri ad A.h.Sū. 7.22cd–26. A long series of verses (A.s.Ni.1.19–31) about astrological influences on the course of fevers is attributed to Gautama in the text of the Aṣṭāngasamgraha (Indu agrees with their attribution to Gautama), but to Śaunaka in Hemādri's commentary on the Aṣṭāngahṛdayasamhitā (ad A.h.Ni.1.23cd–24ab; variant readings ascribe the verses to Gautama or Hārīta), and to Hārīta in Aruṇadatta's commentary on the same treatise (ad A.h.Ni. 2.79; a variant reads Gautama). 346 The Gautamīya is quoted. 347 Ad Su.Śā. (Gotama). 348 He is invoked as one of a series of medical authorities in the introductory verses. 349 This treatise is in the form of a dialogue between Kāśyapa and Gautama. 350 See NCC VI, 222. 351 Ad Mādhavanidāna 5.33–34: the same quotation as in the Madhukośa. 352 Ad Mādhavanidāna 5.33–34: a description of the five types of kapha by Gautama. 353 Virasimhāvaloka, p.32 (a quotation from the Padmapurāṇa; Gautama teaches which gifts should be bestowed on a brāhmaṇa by someone suffering from grahaṇī, i.e., chronic diarrhoea) and 102 (a quotation on karmavipāka with regard to bhagandara, i.e., an ano-rectal fistula). 354 Āyurvedābdhisāra 9804–09 (on the religious therapy of prameha) and 9873–78 (on the religious therapy of bhagandara). 355 Virasimhāvaloka, p.53. 356 NCC VI, 117. 357 Compare, for example, Aruṇadatta and Śrīdāsa ad A.h.Sū.1.3–4ab; Dalhaṇa ad Su.U.1.6. The same group of six pupils is mentioned in the pāriśiṣṭādhyāya of the Hārītasamhitā, where they are not explicitly connected with Ātreya, although Hārīta receives his medical instruction from Ātreya in that work. The Aṣṭāngasamgraha (Sū.1.11–12) regards Hārīta as a member of a group of sages who obtained the āyurveda from Indra and wrote medical treatises based on this divine teaching. The Bhāvaprakāśa (I.1.37) mentions him in a similar context, as one of the munis assembled in the Himālayas who, after sending Bharadvāja as their representative to Indra's heaven, received the āyurveda and obtained a long life, free from disease and decrepitude. A closely related tale is found in the Bṛhannighaṇṭuratnākara (I, 22). The account of the Carakasamhitā on this meeting does not refer to Hārīta.
