159 Bhaiṣajyaratnāvalī, jvara 1162–1169. 160 Bṛhradasarājasundara 315. 161 NCC IX, 49. 162 Su.Sū.1.3. 163 The teacher of the Suśrutasaṃhitā is called Dhanvantari at the beginning of each chapter. 164 The Ṛgveda (6.16.5; 6.31.4) uses the word bharadvāja adjectively to qualify Divodāsa (see N.G. Chapekar, 1950). 165 Ṛgveda 1.112.14; 1.116.18; 1.119.4; 1.130.7; 1.130.10 (plural); 2.19.6; 4.26.3; 4.30.20; 6.16.5; 6.16.19; 6.26.5; 6.31.4; 6.43.1; 6.47.22; 6.47.23; 6.61.1; 7.18.25; 9.61.2. 166 Ṛgveda 1.51.6; 1.53.8; 1.53.10; 1.112.14; 1.130.7; 2.14.7; 4.26.3; 6.18.13; 6.26.3; 6.47.22; 7.19.8; 8.53.2; 10.48.8. 167 Sāyaṇa identifies Atithigva with Divodāsa in most of the verses where the name occurs, but is vague in some instances, where he is referred to as a king (1.53.8 and 10) or sage (8.53.2); Sāyaṇa remarks ad Ṛgveda 7.19.8 that Atithigva is either Sudāsa or Divodāsa. See on the identity of Atithigva: V.M. Hillebrandt (1965); A.A. Macdonell and A.B. Keith (1967); H.Oldenberg (1888): 210–212, (1923): 152; S.N. Pradhan (1927): 7–9; Th. Sarmah (1991): 181–182; H.C. Seth (1942); H.D. Velankar (1942). A. Bergaigne (1883: II, 341–345; *English transl. II, 352, 354–356) took Divodāsa and Atithigva as two different individuals; the PW distinguishes three Atithigvas; H.D. Velankar (1942) was of the opinion that there is one king called Divodāsa, while there are no less than four different kings of the name Atithigva mentioned in the Ṛgveda. 168 Ṛgveda 1.116.18; 6.16.5; 6.31.4. 169 V.M. Hillebrandt (1965). A.A. Macdonell and A.B.Keith (1967): I, 363; II, 97–98. J.E. Mitchiner (1982): 114, 221. Th. Sarmah (1991). The Pañcaviṃśabrāhmaṇa (15.3.6–7; see W. Caland, 1982: 393–394) refers to him as the purohita (see on the purohita: J. Gonda, 1955) of Divodāsa. See about their relationship also: Mahābhārata, Anuśāsanaparvan 30 (ed. Poona). 170 Bhaimaseni Divodāsa is mentioned. 171 Pratardana Daivodāsi is mentioned. See A. Weber (1850): 214–215. 172 Pratardana Daivodāsi is mentioned, who receives Indra’s teachings on prāṇa; he is called Kāśirāja in Śaṃkara’s commentary and Kātyāyana’s Sarvānukramaṇī. See A. Weber (1850): 214. 173 Āśvalāyanaśrautasūtra 12.10.10; compare Th. Sarmah (1991): 37 and 191: Daivodāsa is a ṛṣipravara. 174 Th. Sarmah (1991): 191. 175 Daivodāsi Pratardana (see Sūramcandra, 1978: I, 165) and Parucchepa Daivodāsi are mentioned. 176 See on the sources: ABI 478–479; AVI 51; Gaṇanātha Sena’s upodghāta to ed. dd of the Suśrutasaṃhitā, 6–7; PW; Th. Sarmah (1991); Sūramcandra (1978): I, 165; Yādavaśarman’s upodghāta, 6–7, to ed. cc of the Suśrutasaṃhitā. 177 Mahābhārata, Anuśāsanaparvan 30.5–49 (ed. Poona). This story is also found in the Vāyupurāṇa (D.R. Patil, 1973: 8–9). See also: A.S. Altekar (1937); R.P. Goldman (1977): 111–112; J.E. Mitchiner (1982): 121–122; F.E. Pargiter (1922): 153–155; S.N. Pradhan (1927): 23–27, 55. 178 Brahmapurāṇa 11.65–67 (transl. 1985, part I, 73); Harivaṃśa 1.29.29–71 and 32.23–27 (ed. Poona).
