v2.c36.148

720 Cf. Ca.Ci.23.228; Su.Ka.6.30–31. 721 Cf. Su.Ka.6.32. 722 See on detoxification of toxic drugs: A.E. Shanavaskhan et al. (1997). 723 The exact meaning of this term is not clear. Explained as pradeśarakṣā by Indu. 724 Cf. Ca.Ci.23.17ab. 725 Cf. Ca.Ci.23.17cd. 726 The same as aṇḍavṛddhi due to vāta. 727 The same as śukra(ka). 728 Aṣṭāṅgasamgraha and Aṣṭāṅgahṛdaya are the earliest treatises with the rasāyana and vājī-karaṇa chapters at the end. Later treatises generally follow this model. 729 Cf. A.h.U.39.5. 730 Cf. A.h.U.39.6–7. 731 Cf. A.h.U.39.8ab. 732 Cf. A.h.U.39.21–23. 733 Compare A.s.U.49.33 and Ca.Ci.1⁴.58, 49.35 and Ca.Ci.1².7, 49.37 and Ca.Ci.1².9. 734 Compare Caraka’s lauhādirasāyana (Ci.1³.15–23). 735 Usually a synonym of vacā. 736 Cf. A.h.U.39.54–55. 737 Cf. Su.Ci.13.35. 738 Cf. A.h.U.39.66–71. 739 Cf. A.h.U.39.72–74. 740 Ah.U.39.103 is absent from the Saṃgraha. 741 Cf. A.h.U.39.104–105. 742 Identical with śvetavacā according to Indu. 743 See on Udbhava: Vettam Mani 803–804. 744 D.Ch. Bhattacharyya (1947a: 126–127) was convinced that the Śakas referred to are Muslims here; he adduced in support a quotation from the Saṃgītaśiromaṇi, written in the first half of the fifteenth century, where the word has this meaning. This interpretation is not convincing at all, since the term Śaka designates a variety of peoples; moreover, the Hṛdaya is much too early to be acquainted with Muslims. 745 See on its preparation: The Ayurvedic Formulary of India (1978), Part I: 38. A formula of this name is found in many later texts, for example, the Cakradatta (rasāyana 172–193), Vaṅgasena (pāṇḍuroga 48–53), and the Cikitsākalikā (270–278). 746 These varieties are usually called suvarṇa- and rajatamākṣika. 747 Cf. Su.Ci.14.17cd–19ab. 748 A.h.U.39.146 is absent from the Saṃgraha. 749 A.h.U.39.148 is absent from the Saṃgraha. 750 A.h.U.39.150 is absent from the Saṃgraha. 751 A.h.U.39.152–153 is absent from the Saṃgraha. 752 A.h.U.39.159–160 is absent from the Saṃgraha. 753 A.h.U.39.162–168 is absent from the Saṃgraha. 754 Cf. A.h.U.39.173. 755 Compare these verses with Bṛhatsaṃhitā 47.11, where similar expressions are found. See P.V. Sharma (1968: 73), who also refers to sarga 4 of Bhāravi’s Kirātārjunīya (see 4.10 and 13).
