530 Ca.Sū.5.1–2. 531 Ca.Sū.11.65–69. Compare on special features of Śivadāsasena’s commentary: P.V. Sharma (1990): 81–84. 532 The author calls himself Śivadāsa and Śivadāsasena. 533 A Nāḍiprakaraṇa is sometimes ascribed to him (see Nāḍiśāstra texts). G. Hāldār (Vṛddhatrayī 59) attributes to him a commentary on Bhavyadatta’s Yogaratnākara. 534 This is the name as occurring at the end of the commentary on the Cakradatta. Variants are Sāmbhasena (end of the Tattvabodha), Sāṅgasena (CC I, 649), Sārasena (concluding verses of the commentary on the Dravyaguṇa, ed. d), and Sāūsena (Cat. IO Nr. 2676). 535 P.V. Sharma (upodghāta, 4, to his ed. of the Sūtrasthāna of the Carakasamhitā with Śivadāsa’s commentary) regards this Śikhareśvara as the ruler of the region called Śikhara (forming part of the Mānabhūmamaṇḍala of Vaṅga), who was attacked by Fīrūz Shāh Tughluq in 1360. 536 At the end of the Tattvabodha, the Tattvacandrikā, and the commentary on the Dravyaguṇa. 537 See the beginning of the Tattvabodha and the commentary on the Dravyaguṇa. 538 See the introductory verses of the Carakatattvapradīpikā and the commentary on the Dravyaguṇa. 539 See the concluding verses of the Tattvabodha and Tattvacandrikā. 540 Concluding verses of Tattvabodha, Tattvacandrikā, and the commentary on the Dravyaguṇa. A. Rahman (STMI 208), C.G. Kashikar (1977: 158) and C. Vogel (1965: 15) claim, erroneously, that Śivadāsa himself was the court physician of Bārbak Shāh. 541 Concluding verses of the Tattvacandrikā and the introductory verses of the Carakatattvapradīpikā. 542 Jyotiṣacandra Sarasvatī is convinced that Śivadāsasena hailed from the region of Rājśāhī; he adds that a village, called Mālañcī, still exists in that area (upodghāta 3 to his edition of the Tattvabodha). Kavirāj Virajācaraṇ Gupta, the author of the Vanauṣadhidarpaṇa (see his Intr., 35–36, to vol. I), pointed out that the regional word maṇimaṇi (the form mānāmānī is used by V. Gupta), referred to as a synonym for the plant maṇḍūkaparṇī by Śivadāsasena (ad Dravyaguṇa, śākavarga 2.27), is still current in the region of Kocbihār, Raṅgpur and Rājśāhī, whereas in Rāḍha and Vaṅga this plant is known by completely different names (thulkuḍi and thānkuni). Cakrapāṇidatta, who was a resident of Bengal, also uses maṇimaṇi as a vernacular name for maṇḍūkaparṇī (ad Ca.Sū.27.95). 543 ABI 177. Yādavaśarman’s upodghāta (16) to his edition of Caraka. The Pāvnā district forms part of Bangla Desh now. 544 ABI 277. Gulabkunverba I, 115–116. In favour of this hypothesis are the maṅgala of his commentary on Cakrapāṇidatta’s Cikitsāsaṃgraha, dedicated to Kṛṣṇa, and that of the commentary on the Dravyaguṇa, addressed to Rāma. The introduction to the commentary on the Sūtrasthāna of the Carakasamhitā praises Īśvarī. The commentary on the Uttarasthāna of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā misses a maṅgala. 545 ABI 177 and 277. AVI 220. P.V. Sharma (1970a): 87. V. Śukla I, 50. Yādavaśarman’s upodghāta (16) to ed. 2 of the Carakasamhitā. The first year of his reign is sometimes given as 1459 (D.Ch. Bhattacharyya, 147b: 125; P.V. Sharma’s upodghāta to his edition of the Carakatattvapradīpikā; STMI 208) or 1460 (R.C. Majumdar et al., 1948: 345), the last year as 1476 (STMI 208). 546 The MS of the Tattvabodha was copied in 1526/27. P.K. Gode (1939a: 60) and A. Rahman (STMI 208) assign Śivadāsa to the middle of the fifteenth century, O.P. Jaggi (IV, 36)
