639 Śrīkaṇṭhadatta’s comment ad Siddhayoga 79.3 is usually quoted in order to prove that Kṛṣṇātreya was a specialist in śālākya or, more generally, a surgeon. Śrīkaṇṭhadatta, who on another occasion (ad Siddhayoga 4.15cd) regards Kṛṣṇātreya as identical with Ātreya Punarvasu, states in this case that Kṛṣṇātreya holds the same view as the specialists in śālākya.
