121 Bhadraśaunaka: CC I, 396 and III, 85. Śaunaka: CC I, 663; II, 158 and 230; III, 137. Śaunaka and Bhadraśaunaka are sometimes regarded as different persons (see below). 122 See Cakrapāṇidatta's interpretations of the compound (ad Śā.6.21). The Bhelasamhitā (Śā. 4.30) states that, in Śaunaka's view, the pakvaguda arises first; ed. c of the Bhelasamhitā reads paścādguda, but the most probable emendation appears to be pakvaguda. The Suśrutasamhitā (Śā.3.32) attributes to Śaunaka the opinion that the head develops first. 123 A Luffa species. 124 Another Luffa species. 125 Sūramcandra (I, 246–247). G. Hāldār (Vrddhatrayī 142). 126 Some editions of the Carakasamhitā (eds. s, w, ff) read Śaunaki instead of Kauśika. G. Mukhopadhyaya (HIM II, 473) reads Śaunaka. 127 Bhela calls him Bhadraśaunaka at Sū.9.7cd, whereas his name is Śaunaka at Sū.9.9cd. 128 Bharadvāja is convinced that the head is turned downwards. 129 Three formulae from Bhadraśaunaka: 9.677, 18.166 and 30.128–136; three formulae from Bhadra: 11.23, 13.206 and 20.433 (Bhadra may also be an abbreviation of Bhadravarman). 130 Ad A.h.Ka.6.15–16; Aruṇa calls Śaunaka a tantrakṛt. 131 Āyurvedadhīsāra 6997. 132 Śaunaka is, in the same way as in the Carakasamhitā, a member of the group of sages who assembled on the slopes of the Himālayas (I,1). 133 Bheṣajakalpa 313b-315 quotes Śaunaka's rule on snehapāka; 313b-314ab = A.h.Ka.6.15d-16; one śloka and a half are added to Vāgbhaṭa's quotation. 134 The Bhadraśaunaktīya is quoted. 135 Ad Ca.Sū.4.7: a verse by Śaunaka on the preparation of a śītakaśāya is quoted (this verse is often put between brackets, and regarded as interpolated in the text of the Carakasamhitā; it is ascribed to Kṛṣṇātreya by Śivadāsasena ad Cakradatta, chardi 17–18); Ci.3.197–200ab (A.h.Ka.6.16, attributed to Śaunaka by Vāgbhaṭa, is quoted); Si.1.20cd–22ab (a verse by Bhadraśaunaka on the application of an enema). 136 Śaunaka and Bhadrasenaka are quoted according to P.K. Gode, Śaunaka and Bhadrasenaka according to R.P. Bhatnagar (see Candraṭa). Bhadrasenaka may well be a wrong reading for Bhadraśaunaka. 137 Bhadraśaunaka is quoted ad Su.Sū.12.4 and mentioned as an authority on śalākya ad U.1.4cd-5ab. According to G. Mukhopadhyaya (HIM II, 474), Bhadraśaunaka's rule on snehapāka is quoted by Dalhaṇa ad Su.Ci.31 (where I could not find the quotation). 138 Hemādri quotes (ad A.h. Ni.1.23–24ab) a series of verses from the Aṣṭāngasamgraha (Ni. 1.19–31), dealing with the duration of fevers arisen under various constellations, as being from Śaunaka; these verses are attributed to Gautama in Āṭhavale's edition of the Aṣṭāngasamgraha; various readings of Hemādri's commentary ascribe them to Gautama or Hārīta. 139 Śaunaka is referred to ad A.h.Ka.6.15–16 and A.S.Ci.3.64cd-65. 140 Śaunaka is quoted according to Haridattaśāstrin and P.V. Sharma (see Jejjata). 141 Bhadraśaunaka is quoted ad Cakradatta, kuṣṭha 74–82: the formula of pañcanimba (seven verses); Śaunaka is referred to ad jvara 64: Vāgbhaṭa's quotation of Śaunaka (A.h.Ka.6.15d-16 = A.S.Ka.8.20d–21) is reproduced; jvara 65–68: the Vrddhasamhitā of Vāgbhaṭa, the pupil of Śaunaka, is said to follow a particular view of Dṛḍhabala; arśas 159–164: Vāgbhaṭa describes the surgical treatment of haemorrhoids (arśāmsi), as expounded by Śaunaka, in his Madhyasamhitā (twenty-nine verses are quoted).
