statement need not be meant to refer exclusively to the chapters on surgical subjects. Chapters from the Uttaratantra on śalākya and other subjects may have been put to use as well. 308 P.V. Sharma suggested that the chapter on the tantrayuktis indicate a date posterior to the *Kauṭilīya Arthaśāstra*. 309 See: Vāgbhaṭa. 310 See, for example, Su.Sū.3.29cd and 44; Ka.8.140cd. 311 See Su.Sū.29.68–71ab; 31.20–29. 312 Daḷhaṇa says (ad Su.Sū.1.1–2): pratisamskartā ’pīha nāgārjuna eva. See also the quotation by S. Dasgupta (1975: II, 424–425) of some verses found in *ed. o* of the *Suśrutasaṃhitā*. The same verses are cited by P. Cordier (1903b: 332). 313 S. Dasgupta (1975): II, 425. 314 Gaṇanāthasena’s upodghāta (6) to ed. dd of the *Suśrutasaṃhitā*. 315 See VŚS, Preface 5 and Vijñāpana 8. P. Cordier (1896a): 5–6; (1899a): 8. 316 As was already noticed by A. Barth (1918: IV, 461–462), who also corrected Cordier’s translation of the passage (see A. Roṣu, 1989: LXXVI). 317 Daḷhaṇa says that bhasmameha is identical with mūtraśukra. 318 These nāgārjunīyāḥ are mentioned in Narahari’s *Vāgbhaṭamaṇḍana* (see P. Cordier, 1903b: 333). 319 G. Liétard (1883): 640; (1896): 6. 320 Cf. Ca.Ci.25.103, where a dāhavīśeṣavid appears. 321 My interpretation is also found in the writings of other authors (see, for example, ABI 189). 322 See Su.Ni.9.28cd–33. See also Su.U.42.6cd–7ab. 323 See his remarks ad Ca.Ci.5.42–45. 324 Cakra is well aware that Suśruta disagrees with Caraka on the treatment of gulma. 325 Hariprapanna (Intr., 68, to the *Rasayogasāgara*) claims that Caraka criticizes Suśruta under the guise of the dhānvantarīyaḥ. 326 Some regard the issue as unsettled (see, for example, Nagendra Nath Gupta, 1984: Preface VI). 327 See P. Rāy (1956): 59–60; G.P. Srivastava (1954): 45–46. M. Winternitz (III, 547) also suggested that the language and contents of the *Suśrutasaṃhitā* show it to be later, but not much later, than the *Carakasaṃhitā*. 328 See Satyaprakāś (1960): 164. 329 Some stanzas in common are: Su.U.22.6 = Ca.Ci.26.113cd–114ab; U.28.5–6ab = Ca.Ci.30.7cd–8; U.38.5cd–6ab = Ca.Ci.30.8; U.39.150ab = Ca.Ci.3.188cd. See also Atrideva’s *Suśrutasaṃhitā ke viṣay meṃ* (8) in ed. gg; P. Cordier (1899a): 1 and (1901d): 164. 330 ABI 484. 331 See on Yaśovarman I: L.P. Briggs (1962): 105–114. 332 See G. Liétard (1883): 644–645 and (1896): 9; J. Jolly (1901): 10 (reference to A. Bergaigne, 1893); R.F.G. Müller (1932): 797 (see the quotation from his French source). 333 See on Maṅka: Caraka in the Islamic world. 334 AVI 68. W. Cureton (1841): 107. HIM III, 583. M.S. Khan (1979): 9; (1981): 49. F. Sezgin (1970): III, 245 and 303. P.V. Sharma’s Intr. (V) to the 4th ed. of ed. cc of the *Suśrutasaṃhitā*. M.Z. Siddīqī (1957a): 376; (1959): 19, 40, 61 (sources referred to are the *Fihrist* and *Uṣaybi’a*). K.R. Srikanta Murthy (1992a): 201. M. Steinschneider (1871): 490. R.L. Verma (1992): 473. M. Ullmann (1970): 105. H.T. Colebrooke (1873: 461; reprinted from a publication of 1817) and W. Cureton (1841: 107: the book of Sasard; H.H. Wilson proposed to read Sasrad in his additions to Cureton's article) already mentioned an Arabic translation of Suśruta (Colebrooke referred to *d'Herbelot, Bibliothèque Orientale, on which work see E. Haas, 1876a: 624).
