347 A commentator on the Carakasamhitā; Jejjata is the only author who mentions him. 348 Those adhering to the Suśrutasamhitā; they are also called sausrutāḥ (Ci.23.250–253). 349 Compare the samaptikāra, also quoted by Jejjata. 350 A commentator on the Carakasamhitā. 351 See also the quotation from Jejjata in Niścala's Ratnaprabhā ad Cakradatta, jvara 20. 352 Dṛḍhabala, who completed the Carakasamhitā. 353 The science of cooking is called sūdaśāstra. 354 P.V. Sharma (1968: 376) adds Ci.3.285–286. 355 A treatise on toxicology (agadatanatra). 356 A comparison with Cakrapāṇidatta's comment on the same verses learns that this is Kṣīrasvāmidatta. 357 This list is incomplete, since a considerable number of pages is missing from my copy of the edition of Jejjata's commentary. 358 See the list in his edition of Jejjata's commentary. 359 Probably the kārikās of the Mahābhāṣya. 360 AVI 158–159 and 207–208. P.V. Sharma (1968): 376. The quotation from Vāgbhaṭa is not traceable in Jejjata's commentary on the verses referred to (Ca.Ci.3.197–200ab), but is found among Cakra's remarks. 361 P.V. Sharma and G.P. Sharma (1972): 88–89. 362 See the Introduction (XVI, XXI) to his translation of the Aṣṭāngahṛdaya. 363 See Niścala ad Cakradatta, karṇaroga 30. 364 Jejjata also refers to those who follow Bhaṭṭārakahariścandra's views (Ci.3.149cd–155ab). 365 An authority called Pitāmaha is also mentioned (Si.4.52–54). 366 It is doubtful whether this is a separate school; P.V. Sharma (AVI 207) assumes that a commentator, called Śivasaindhava, is meant. 367 Cakrapāṇidatta knows about the disputed nature of the verses, but, regarding them as ārṣa on the authority of the kāśmīrāḥ and others, decides to comment on them a little bit. 368 Ca.Ci.3.211–214 is regarded as ārṣa by Cakra. 369 See Niścala ad Cakradatta, raktapitta 17 (= Ca.Ci.4.66). 370 See P.V. Sharma and G.P. Sharma (1972): 94. V.V.S. Sastry and A.N. Pandey (1975a: 116–122) assume that Jejjata based his commentary on the Agniveśatantra as it was before its redaction by Caraka and Dṛḍhabala, on the ground that he quotes some verses which are not found in the Carakasamhitā; these authors had probably the verses in mind in Jejjata's comment to Ca.Ci.3.63–67, which, even if they are from the Agniveśatantra, do not warrant such a far-reaching conclusion. Jejjata's remarks to Ci.30.127cd–132 prove, however, that he had a critical attitude towards Dṛḍhabala's text, which may point to his acquaintance with an earlier version. 371 See P.V. Sharma's Introduction (XVI) to his edition and translation of the Carakasamhitā; This is the only reference to a drug called pullāsa in the Carakasamhitā; Jejjata remarks that it grows in the North (auttarāpathika). 372 See P.V. Sharma and G.P. Sharma: Appendix VI of their article on Jejjata (1972: 97). 373 See P.V. Sharma and G.P. Sharma (1972): Appendix IV. 374 See P.V. Sharma and G.P. Sharma (1972): Appendix V. 375 See P.V. Sharma and G.P. Sharma (1972): Appendix III. 376 See P.V. Sharma and G.P. Sharma (1972): Appendix VII. Jejjata's views on the pippalīvardhamānarasyana (ad Ca.Ci.1³.32–35) are important and followed by Cakrapāṇidatta and later commentators.
