187 The seven procedures are later (Ci.1) subdivided into a number of sixty (see the commentaries). 188 Cf. Ca.Ci.25.115–118. 189 See the commentaries on these terms. 190 Sanskrit *vraṇa*, like the Greek helkos, means both wound and ulcer. 191 A *kalka* is applied on wounds (kṣata). 192 This verse, not read by Cakra and Ḍalhaṇa, derives from Hārīṇacandra’s edition (t). 193 See Ḍalhaṇa’s comments. 194 The comments by Cakra and Ḍalhaṇa show that they were unsure about the nature of many of the materials enumerated. Cf. Ca.Ci.25.96ab. See on the meaning of pattrorṇa: K.N. Dave (1985): 266; H. Scharfe (1993): 290–291 (uncultivated silk). See on cīnapaṭṭa: H. Scharfe (1993): 281. 195 These types are not described in the text; their names are said to indicate the way they are made. Cakra quotes descriptions of the bandages from the works of Bhoja and Vaitaraṇa; quotations giving descriptions are also found in Ḍalhaṇa’s commentary, but without references to his sources, which were not always the same as those used by Cakra. Compare Ca.Ci.25.96cd. 196 Ambikādatta (ed. hh): sheath bandage. Bhishagratna: sheath or scabbard. Singhal c.s.: finger bandage. Compare G. Mukhopādhyāya (1913): 177. Cakra quotes Bhoja; Ḍalhaṇa’s description is from another source. 197 Ambikādatta: four-tailed bandage. Bhishagratna: cord or chaplet. Singhal c.s.: sling. Compare G. Mukhopādhyāya (1913): 177. Cakra quotes Bhoja; Ḍalhaṇa’s description is related, without being identical.
