also contain summaries of Cakrapāṇidatta's commentary on the Carakasamhitā. The title of the commentary is mentioned in the introductory verses; the colophons use Carakatātparyaṭīkā as a second title. 97 Amarakosa 1.3.4 is quoted. 98 Bharata's Nāṭyaśāstra. 99 Kamalaśīla's commentary on the Tattvasaṃgraha of his teacher, Śāntarakṣita. 100 Cakrapāṇidatta refers to the Kumāratantra composed by Brahmā. 101 CC: not recorded. A grammarian according to the quotation. 102 The author of the Pākadarpaṇa. 103 Unidentified. 104 Unidentified. 105 Respectively Nyāyasūtra 4.2.47; 1.2.18; 1.2.10 and 13. See also the unidentified quotation ad Vi.8.64. 106 The source of these quotations remains unknown; they are not taken from the Uttaratantra of the Suśrutasamhitā, since Suśruta is quoted separately from the source called Śālākya (see Cakrapāṇidatta's comment ad Ca.Sū.5.26cd–27ab). 107 Śanta- or Śāntarakṣita, a Mahāyāna Buddhist who lived in the eighth century, author of the Tattvasaṃgraha (NCC VIII, 68). 108 Manusmṛti 1.50ab is quoted. 109 Praśastapāda's Padārthadharmasaṃgraha is quoted. 110 Vaiśeṣikasūtra 1.1.1 is quoted ad Ca.Sū.1.1. 111 I.e., Varāhamihira. 112 An author on nāṭyaśāstra according to the edition of the Carakasamhitā. Probably the same as Viśākhila, an ancient writer on music (see CC I, 581; S.K. De, 1960: I, 23). 113 Pāṇini 5.2.93 is quoted. 114 A.s.Sū.7.48cd–49ab (on khala and kāmbalika) is quoted. 115 Compare the quotations from Cakrapāṇi(datta) in the section on his Cikitsāsaṃgraha and Dravyaguṇa. 116 Examples are Sū.6.19–21, Ka.12.65 and 105cd, regarded as anārṣa. 117 Examples are Sū.17.54–61; 27.32, 75cd, 198d–200ab, 244, 299; Śā.8.69; I.5.45–46; Ci.14.86ab; 24.72; 30.127cd. 118 Some of the numerous examples are Sū.10.7–8; 17.10; 20.3; 24.5 and 49; 25.40 and 42; 26.45; 27.25; Ni.3.10; 4.3; 7.20; Vi.8.135; Śā.6.17; 8.22–24 and 56; Ci.8.57; 9.17 and 43; 11.16; 12.12; 13.18; 15.9; 16.11, 20, 106; 24.73, 112, 199; 25.27; 26.132; 27.11; 28.58; 29.8; 30.16 and 326; Ka.1.23; 3.7 and 18; Si.1.23cd–24; 7.5 and 6; 9.4. 119 One of the reasons for accepting a particular reading was its occurence in the majority of the manuscripts consulted by Cakrapāṇidatta (Ci.30.204cd–224). 120 E.g., Sū.25.39 (āluka; compare Cakra ad Sū.27.168: mūlaka instead of āluka; see R.K. Sharma and Bhagwan Dash, 1976: XL); Sū.27.4 (see P.V. Sharma, 1985e: 238–239). See also A.F.R. Hoernle (1978): 34–37. 121 P.V. Sharma suggested that Bhaṭṭārahariścandra was the commentator whose lead was followed by Cakrapāṇidatta (upodghāta, 3, to his edition of Śivadāsasena's commentary on Ca.Sū). A comparison between the commentaries of Cakrapāṇidatta and Jejjaṭa makes clear that the former was heavily indebted to the latter. 122 See, for example, Sū.3.3–17; 11.23–24; 12.4; Ni.2.23ab. 123 Cakrapāṇidatta was unaware of the meaning of the term cūrṇapradeha (Sū.3.3–17; see P.V. Sharma, 1985e: 62); pramāthin (Sū.7.9) is incorrectly explained; dāruṇa is once correctly (Sū.12.7), once (Sū.12.4) wrongly interpreted; the meaning of sūcīpippalaka (Śā.8.34) was not clear to him; the difference between jarāyu (amnion) and amarā (placenta) was unknown to him (Śā.3.6). See also P.V. Sharma's criticisms (1985e) regarding Cakrapāṇidatta's interpretations of śoṇita- and vedanāsthāpana (Sū.4.8), samdhānīya (Sū.4.9), etc.
