331 I.e., uṣṇavidagdhā dṛṣṭi (see Indu, the Kairalī and Śivadāsa). 332 I.e., amlavidagdhā dṛṣṭi (see Indu, the Kairalī and Śivadāsa). 333 Compare the triphalā recipes of the Suśrutasaṃhitā (U.17.31, 32ab). The formula of the Hṛdaya is called triphalāghṛta (see Aruṇa). 334 Compare the formula of mahātriphalāghṛta of the Cikitsākalikā (331) and Gadanigraha (prayogakhaṇḍa, ghṛtādhikāra 124–129: attributed to Videharāja = Nimi), and that of mahātriphalādyaghṛta of the Cakradatta (netraroga 174–181). 335 I.e., Garuḍa, the mythic bird often mentioned in connection with an excellent eyesight (see, for example, Parahitasamhitā, śālākya 305 and 308). Cf. A.h.U.13.33. Many books and articles deal with Suparṇa and Garuḍa; see, for example: N.K. Bhattasali (1929): 107–109; J. Charpentier (1920); S.A. Dange (1969): 1–153; W. Filchner (1933): 414; Hopkins; K.F. Johansson (1910); D.M. Knipe (1966); A.A. Macdonell and A.B. Keith (1967); M.-Th. de Mallmann (1963): 48–50; M.A. Mehendale (1993); M. Mehta (1971); N.M. Penzer (1924a); E.M. Raven (1994): I, 17–22; J. Varenne (1972); Vettam Mani; W.J. Wilkins (1974): 449–456. 336 Both Caraka- (Ci.26) and Suśrutasaṃhitā (U.17) contain a number of similar recipes. 337 Inorganic substances are also conspicuously present in the recipes of Caraka (Ci.26.246, 250) and Suśruta (U.17.39, 40, 43). 338 This yantra is also mentioned at A.h.U.13.32 (andhamūṣīkṛta). Hilgenberg and Kirfel did not understand the meaning of this term. 339 This nakṣatra consists of β and γ Arietis. 340 This nakṣatra consists of α Virginis. 341 Cf. Ca.Ci.26.241–242. 342 I.e., Janaka (according to Indu). 343 The preparation of this cūrṇa requires a mūṣā. Cf. Soḍhala's Gadanigraha, prayogakhaṇḍa, cūrṇādhikāra 230–237. 344 The author of the Kairalī calls the preparations of U.13.20–31ab cūrṇāñjanas. 345 The author of the Kairalī remarks that this recipe is not found in all the MSS, and that Aruṇa did not explain it. The latter, however, does comment on the preparation of this añjana; he says that the metals mentioned should only be purified, not killed (mārita). 346 Cf. Ca.Ci.26.256cd–258ab; Su.U.17.36–37. 347 Cf. Su.U.17.34cd. 348 Cf. Ca.Ci.26.259cd–260ab; Su.U.17.35cd. 349 The Kairalī remarks that a mūṣā is needed in preparing this añjana. 350 Cf. Su.U.17.96–99. 351 Cf. Su.U.17.36ab. 352 Cf. Su.U.17.29ab, 32ab, 34–35. 353 Cf. Su.U.17.29cd, 31, 33ab, 38–39. 354 Cf. Su.U.17.30a, 32ab, 41cd–44ab. 355 Compare the drkprasādanī varti of Caraka (Ci.26.237–239). 356 Cf. Su.U.17.29cd, 33cd. 357 Cf. Su.U.17.30ab, 44cd–46a. 358 Cf. Su.U.17.11cd–12ab, 17–21ab, 24–26. 359 I.e., amlavidagdhā, pittavidagdhā and uṣṇavidagdhā dṛṣṭi. 360 Cf. Su.U.17.4–10ab, 12–15. 361 The translation of Hilgenberg and Kirfel is wrong here.
