103 Not mentioned in *Carakasaṃhitā*, *Suśrutasaṃhitā* and *Śārṅgadharasaṃhitā*. The *Aṣṭāṅgasaṃgraha* (U.7.29) and some editions of the *Hṛdaya* have Maukiraṇa (accepted by the author of the *Kairalī*). Śivadāsa regards the Aukiraṇas as a kind of Kinnaras (a group of celestial musicians). The Kinnaras are present in the list of the *Śārṅgadharasaṃhitā* (I.7.38). Compare the Okiraṇa of the *Mahāmāyūrī* (see Bower MS).
