1 See: Agniveśa. 2 C.G. Kashikar 163. 3 P. Cordier (1903b): 331. 4 NCC I, 344. 5 Bhaṭṭarahariścandra’s commentary on the Carakasamhitā bears the same title. 6 See Niścala ad Cakradatta, anuvāsana 33: the comments are concerned with basti, a subject mainly dealt with in the Siddhisthāna of the Carakasamhitā. 7 See Niścala ad Cakradatta, anuvāsana 33. 8 Niścala ad Cakradatta, jvara 65–68: Amitaprabha agrees with Dṛḍhabala and Jejjata; udara 11: Īśāna and Amitaprabha agree on the interpretation of a verse from Caraka; vamana 16: Amitaprabha agrees with Īśanadeva; vireka 16; vireka 28: Amitaprabha agrees with Kārttika. 9 Yogaratnasamuccaya 8.702cd. 10 Niścala quotes from a treatise by Amitaprabha not mentioned by name ad Cakradatta, jvara 84 and 90; krimi 4; pāṇḍuroga 9; unmāda 50; udāvarta 14; śotha 6; galagaṇḍa 6; vraṇaśotha 75; upadaṃśa 32; visarpa 32; mukharoga 87. Verses of the Cakradatta, which were borrowed from Amitaprabha’s work are: jvara 84 and 90; krimi 4; pāṇḍuroga 9 (= Yogaśataka 30); unmāda 50; vraṇaśotha 75 (= Yogaśataka 65); visarpa 32. Some of these formulae are already found in Vṛnda’s Siddhayoga (Siddhayoga 1.95 = Cakradatta, jvara 84; 7.5 = krimi 4; 8.6 = pāṇḍuroga 9); the Kusumāvalī does not disclose their source. 11 Dalhaṇa ad Su.Ci.24.83; this reference need not imply Amitaprabha also commented on the Suśrutasamhitā. 12 Yogaratnasamuccaya 9.610cd–612; 9.691cd–692ab; 10.97cd–98ab and 273; 11.21, 127, 157; 13.265–266 and 270; 14.42, 175, 206–207, 216–220, 413; 18.12, 42, 221, 225, 291 (= Cakradatta, visarpa 32), 471–472; 19.66–67; 20.225; 24.401 (said to be from Vararuci’s Amitaprabhīya and 405; 25.34; 30.123. 13 Yogaratnasamuccaya 9.270–272ab; 15.134–135; 23.23. Some quotations in the Yogaratnasamuccaya from a work abbreviated as Amṛta cannot be identified, because they may be from the Amṛtaprabhīya or the Amṛtamālā. 14 Cakradatta, unmāda 50 = Yogaratnasamuccaya 23.23. The Yogaratnasamuccaya says that the verse is found in the Amṛtaprabhīya and Vāhaṭa. 15 Niścala ad Cakradatta, arśas 147–151: these verses on the preparation of a kṣāra are borrowed from Amitaprabha’s Cikitsātiśaya; chardi 23: this recipe derives from the Cikitsātiśaya. 16 See: Yogaśataka. The therapeutic treatise of Amitaprabha, outed by Anantakumāra, Cakrapāṇidatta and Niścala, may be the Cikitsātiśaya or the Yogaśataka, if the latter is by the same author. D.Ch. Bhattacharyya (1947b: 137) was doubtful about the identity of the author of the Yogaśataka with the one who wrote the Carakanyāsa and the much quoted therapeutic work. See on Amitaprabha: D.Ch. Bhattacharyya (1947b): 136–137. 17 Ad Cakradatta, jvara 65–68.
