133 Ḍalhaṇa gives, for example, the vernacular name of akṣoḍa (Sū.46.187), apāmārga (Sū.39.6), and kaṭphala (Sū.38.14). See appendix I of P.V. Sharma (1982b); Appendix 4 of Bāpālāl Vaidya (1982); S.M. Katre (1958). 134 See P.V. Sharma (1982b), Intr. IX-X. Some examples are citrāṇḍikā (= citrā; Sū.39.3), cirihiṇṭikā (= guñjā; Ci.14.8). 135 Examples are guḍamajjanikā (= jiṅginī; Sū.38.14), kūvikā (= kāmboji; Ci.19.42), kaṇṭakikā (= vikaṅkata; Ci.11.10). See P.V. Sharma (1982b), Intr. X and XI. 136 See P.V. Sharma (1982b), Intr. XI. 137 Ḍalhaṇa was obviously ignorant as to the identity of ajakarna, ajaśṛṅgī, ārtagala, kuṣṭha, puṣkaramūla, etc. See P.V. Sharma (1982b), Appendix I. 138 I am much indebted to P.V. Sharma’s book on Ḍalhaṇa (1982b), which contains a wealth of additional information on the contents of the Nibandhasaṃgraha. See also Bāpālāl Vaidya (1982): Appendix IV, and Śivakumār Vyās (1989). 139 Frequently used variants of his name are Ḍallaṇa and Ḍalvaṇa; rarer variants are Ullaṇa and Ullana (STMI 49), Ulahaṇa and Ulvaṇa (NCC II, 399). 140 Ad Āyurvedaprakāśa 2.316–317. 141 Ad A.h.Sū.7.40–41ab. 142 Ad A.h.U.1.13ab; 5.3; 18.59cd–66; 31.17–18ab; 38.21, 24ab, 36. 143 Ad Dravyaguṇa, māṃsādi^1.18; śakavarga^1.8, 42, 44, 46; śākavarga^2.20, 23 and 27 (twice); lavaṇādi 6, 7, 14, 17; pānīya 23; aikṣavādi 9 and 12; madyādi 1; kṛtānna 54; bhakṣya 4; āhāravidhi 10. 144 Ad Cakradatta, jvara 103, 208, 210; atisāra 80; agnimāndya 87; pāṇḍuroga 28; raktapitta 36; chardi 2; tṛṣṇā 1–2, 3, 7 (twice), 10–11 (twice); śūla 75; udāvarta 16; ānāha 10; gulma 11; hṛdroga 5–6 and 12; mūtrāghāta 1–2 and 3; strīroga 6–8 (twice); viṣa 11–12. Śivadāsasena sometimes criticizes Ḍalhaṇa (ad tṛṣṇā 7 and 10–11). 145 Ad Śivakoṣa 12, 75, 110, 128, 138, 146, 147, 168, 171, 193, 209, 231, 268, 328 (twice), 413, 453. 146 Ṭodara II: 2.3; (2.148;) 4.20; (4.24; 7.262;) IX: 1.269. 147 Ad Mādhavanidāna 21.8–9; 4.3; 56.27; 57.16; 69.4–8ab. 148 Ad Jvaratriśatī 20. 149 Āyurvijñānaratnākara III.1.18 and 28. 150 Ad Ca.Sū.19.4 (quoted as Suśrutatīkā). 151 Introduction to the commentary. 152 The NCC (VIII, 6) calls him the court physician of king Nṛpāladeva, the father of Sahadeva (= Sahapāla). 153 These brāhmaṇas are Śākadvīpīyas according to P.V. Sharma (Intr., XIV, to the 4th ed. of ed. cc of the Suśrutasaṃhitā). 154 Introduction; end of the commentary ad Ni.16, U.26, 62 and 66. Ḍalhaṇa refers to local names of plants employed in Bhādānaka (ad Sū.11.13; U.55.43). Rājaśekhara refers in his Kāvyamīmāṃsā (10.2) to Bhādānaka as a region where apabhraṃśa is the preferred type of language. A number of Ḍalhaṇa’s vernacular names are close to those mentioned by Āḍhamalla (see Bāpālāl Vaidya, 1982: 371–372). 155 P.V. Sharma (1982b: 2) is in favour of the latter view. J. Filliozat (in L. Renou and J. Filliozat, 1953: 159) expressed the opinion that Ḍalhaṇa belonged to Kaśmīr; according to A.F.R. Hoernle (1906a: 290), he had his home in the northwestern part of India. 156 Gaṇanātha Sena (1924): I, 56.
