271 Ad Ca.Sū.5.13 and 13.19. 272 Ad A.h.Sū.19.14cd–15: Śrīdāsa calls Haricandra the kāyacikitsitapradhāna. 273 See Niścala ad jvara 5. 274 See Niścala ad gulma 91 (a verse borrowed by Haricandra from a tantrāntara). 275 See Niścala ad Cakradatta, jvara 5, 19, 291; rājayakṣman 24–25; plīhayakṛt 19–23. 276 See Niścala ad jvara 203–205 and 235. 277 Viśvaprākaśa 1.5 (ed. by Śīlaskandha Sthavira and Ratnagopāla Bhaṭṭa, Chowkhamba Sanskrit Series 37, 2nd ed., Varanasi 1983). Maheśvara, who completed his lexicon in 1111/12, traces his family through six generations back to Haricandra. Jaggi (IV, 16) takes, inadvertantly, Maheśvara's date for that of Haricandra, as did G. Mukhopadhyaya (HIM III, 615); the latter, however, corrected his mistake (1934a: 410). 278 P. Cordier (1903a): 619. 279 It is said that he wrote a romance called Mālatī (M. Krishnamachariar, 1989: 146–147). 280 Composed in the seventh century; the passage (Harṣacarita, introductory verse 12) is quoted by G. Hāldār (Vṛddhatrayī 33), R. Śāstrī (1977: 660) and P.V. Sharma (AVI 204). 281 Composed about A.D. 750 (A.B. Keith, 1973: 150–151; Winternitz III, 50–51), or in the ninth century (S.N. Dasgupta and S.K. De, 1947: 201). See Gauḍavaho 800; the verse is quoted by R. Śāstrī (1977: 650) and P.V. Sharma (AVI 204). 282 Compiled in 1205 (A.B. Keith, 1973: 222; Krishnamachariar, 1989: 385; L.Sternbach, 1974: 16). The Saduktikarṇāmṛta (stanza 2130; quoted by G. Hāldār, Vṛddhatrayī 34) mentions Haricandra in the company of great writers: Subandhu, Kālidāsa, Bhāravi and Bhavabhūti; stanza 1639 is quoted from Harīścandra. 283 Not earlier than the fifteenth century (A.B. Keith, 1973: 222–223; M. Krishnamachariar, 1989: 386–387; L. Sternbach, 1974: 22–23); the verse is quoted by G. Hāldār (Vṛddhatrayī 33–34). 284 K.N. Pāṇḍey and G.N. Caturvedī's edition (hh) of the Carakasamhitā, sampādakīya 13. 285 He was the author of the Dharmaśarmābhyudaya (NCC IX, 264; S.N. Dasgupta and S.K. De, 1947: 17, note 2; M. Krishnamachariar, 1989: 146–147). 286 S.N. Dasgupta and S.K. De (1947: 17, note 2) agree with this view; G. Hāldār regards him as identical (Vṛddhatrayī 38 and 457) and mentions the name of his author as Rathyādevī (Vṛddhatrayī 36). 287 NCC XII, 27: dating from about A.D. 500. S.N. Dasgupta and S.K. De (1947): 762: Śyāmilaka may have lived between A.D. 800 and 900. See on the work: M. Krishnamachariar (1989): 572. See for a discussion of the date of the work: M. Ghosh (1975): Intr., XXII–XXXII. 288 See M. Ghosh (1975): 123 (English translation) and 84 (Sanskrit text). Compare G.H. Schokker and P.J. Worsley (1976): 13 (English translation). ABI 176. AVI 204–205. P.V. Sharma (1970a): 84. The Pādatāḍitaka belongs to the collection of bhāṇas called Caturbhāṇī. P.V. Sharma (AVI 204–205) is of the opinion that Bhaṭṭāraharicandra may have been a descendant of the Bāhlīka physicians to whom Kāṅkāyana belonged; these Bāhlīkas formed a branch of the Śakas. Compare P.V. Sharma (1970a): 57 and 59, where this author suggests that the termination in -āra is characteristic of Śaka names; the Magabrāhmaṇas, who are of Śaka origin, still bear names ending in this way (P.V. Sharma refers to *S. Chattopadhyaya, 1967: 60–63, 86–98). 289 M. Krishnamachariar (1989): 146–147. 290 Jejjata's posteriority to Haricandra was known to Vijayarakṣita, who remarks (ad Mādhavanidāna 28.3) that Jejjata and Gayadāsa agree with Haricandra's view on a particular
