379 See Dalhaṇa ad Su.U.39.229cd–234ab; 45.21ab and 45; 48.32ab; 49.7; 56.24ab and 26–27ab, etc; *Madhukośa* ad *Mādhavanidāna* 9.11; 38.18–20ab; 56.53; 59.75. 380 See Niścala ad *Cakradatta*, kṣudraroga 84–85. 381 See *Kusumāvalī* ad *Siddhayoga* 12.24. Kārttikakuṇḍa also refers to the *siddhavaidyasaṃpradāya* (*Kusumāvalī* ad *Siddhayoga* 59.30). 382 See the *Madhukośa* ad *Mādhavanidāna* 1.5d–6, 2.3, 22.70cd–72; *Kusumāvalī* ad *Siddhayoga* 1.254; Niścala ad *Cakradatta*, jvara 64, 253–254, 256–257; udāvarta 34; plīhayakṛt 9; nāḍīvraṇa 2; vireka 28; gloss ad *Bhāvaprakāśa*, cikitsā 1.9. 383 See *Madhukośa* ad *Mādhavanidāna* 59.59 and 62cd–64. 384 He is often called an ācārya. Śivadāsasena (ad A.h.U.22.40cd–42ab) regarded him as one of the two authoritative commentators on the *Suśrutasaṃhitā*. 385 Cakrapāṇidatta is sometimes at variance according to Niścala (see Niścala ad *Cakradatta*, bhagna 2, 5, 14–15, 16–27, visarpa 15); the interpretations of the *Candrikā* differ occasionally according to Niścala (see Niścala ad bhagna 2, 5, 14–15, 16–27); Dalhaṇa disagrees at Su.U.39.229cd–234ab and 59.11–15ab; Gayadāsa does so according to the *Madhukośa* (ad *Mādhavanidāna* 22.68cd–70ab and 70cd–72); the same applies to Niścala in his *Ratnaprabhā* (ad *Cakradatta*, galagaṇḍa 40), Vijayarakṣita in the *Madhukośa* (ad *Mādhavanidāna* 2.10–11), and Śrīkaṇṭhadatta in the *Madhukośa* (ad *Mādhavanidāna* 59.75). 386 See Dalhaṇa ad Su.U.45.42cd and 58.28cd. 387 A. Pandey and K. Raghunathan (1976) assert that the quotation in the *Madhukośa* ad *Mādhavanidāna* 2.61cd–65 derives from Kārttika’s commentary on the *Carakasaṃhitā*, but it may as well be from his commentary on the *Suśrutasaṃhitā*. The quotation in the *Madhukośa* ad *Mādhavanidāna* 5.43 (= A.h.Ni.7.57) does not prove that Kārttikakuṇḍa commented on the *Aṣṭāngahṛdayasaṃhitā*; it is without doubt from Kārttika’s comments on a parallel passage of the *Suśrutasaṃhitā* (probably Su.Ni.2.18). G. Hāldār (Vṛddhatrayī 46) and B. Tripāṭhī (bhūmikā, 21, to ed. II of the *Carakasaṃhitā*) regard him as a commentator on the *Carakasaṃhitā*. 388 Often called thus by Niścalakara. 389 D.Ch. Bhattacharyya (1947b: 140) is of the opinion that both Kārttikakuṇḍa and Vṛndakuṇḍa, on account of their common family names, belonged to a Vaidya family of Bengal. Bharatamallika mentions the Kuṇḍa family of physicians, to which Vṛndakuṇḍa belonged, as inhabitants of Vaṅga, i.e., Eastern Bengal (see Bharatamallika’s *Candraprabhā*, *21). 390 See A.F.R Hoernle (1906a): 286–288. See: Bhāskara. 391 *Kusumāvalī* ad *Siddhayoga* 12.24. A.F.R. Hoernle (1906a: 287) was not convinced of the validity of this remark, being of the opinion that it does not convey any chronological implication. 392 Ad *Cakradatta*, mukharoga 32–33. 393 Ad A.h.U.22.40cd–42ab. 394 Ad *Mādhavanidāna* 1.5d–6. 395 *Madhukośa* ad *Mādhavanidāna* 59.59 and 62cd–64. 396 Atrideva (ABI 200) and G. Hāldār (Vṛddhatrayī 46) assign him to the ninth or eleventh century; P.V. Sharma (AVI 211) places him in the eleventh, B. Tripāṭhī (bhūmikā, 21, to ed. II of the *Carakasaṃhitā*) in the thirteenth century. See on Kārttikakuṇḍa: P.K. Gode (1947a); G.J. Meulenbeld (1974: 394–395); A. Pandey and K. Raghunathan (1976).
