6–7; 82.25. The references to Aruṇadatta in the *Kusumāvalī* were added to Śrīkaṇṭha's text by Nārāyaṇa. 61 Parameśvara cites Aruṇadatta and the *Sundarī* in his *Vākyapradīpikā*. 62 Referred to as Sundarī. 63 Śivadāsasena quotes Aruṇa in his *Hṛdayabodhikā*. 64 Śrīdāsa quotes very often from Aruṇadatta and his *Sarvāṅgasundarā*. 65 The *Sarvāṅgasundarā* is quoted (*Āyurvedasaukhya* II: 4.133–135); Aruṇadatta's quotation (ad A.h.Śā.1.5) of two verses by Dāruvāhin is reproduced, followed by his comment in prose; neither Aruṇadatta nor Dāruvāhin are mentioned by name; *Āyurvedasaukhya* II: 4.232 is explicitly from the *Sarvāṅgasundarā* (it is identical with a quotation from an unknown source by Aruṇa ad Śā.3.12). 66 *Ātaṅkadarpaṇa* ad *Mādhavanidāna* 2.56–57 (Aruṇadatta ad A.h.Ni.2.52 is partly reproduced); the passage of Vācaspati's commentary that contains the quotations has been put between brackets in ed. ii (5th ed.) of the *Mādhavanidāna*, which means that it is not found in all the MSS. 67 *Yogaratnasamuccaya* 8.61cd–62ab, 334–336, 924–926, gloss after 971. 68 The colophons of the *Sarvāṅgasundarā* call him Aruṇadatta. He is quoted and referred to as Aruṇa or Aruṇadatta. Compare on Aruṇadatta: G.J. Meulenbeld (1974): 389–391. 69 The short form of his name may be due to the metre. 70 His father's name is Mṛgāṅka in the introductory verses, Mṛgāṅkadatta in the colophons. Atrideva (ABI 227) calls him Maṅgaladatta. 71 C. Vogel (1965: 12) drew attention to a passage, noticed for the first time by D.Ch. Bhattacharyya (1947b: 132), in Aruṇadatta's comments ad A.h.Sū.7.71, where the southerners (dākṣiṇātyas) are accused of the forbidden practice of fellatio. Usually, in kāmaśāstra literature, oral intercourse is said to be practiced in the North, particularly in the Punjab. Aruṇa may have taken offence, which led him to put the blame on far-away people. 72 N.N. Das Gupta (1936–1937): 159–160. 73 Bhagvat Sinh Jee (35) regards Aruṇadatta as a commentator on the *Aṣṭāṅgasaṃgraha*, not on the *Aṣṭāṅgahṛdaya*. 74 Akṣivairāgya is the disappearance of the redness of the eyes (of a cakora bird, when it looks at poisonous foods). 75 See D.Ch. Bhattacharyya (1947b: 131–132), who may have been the first to put forward this view. 76 The same evidence led C. Vogel (1965: 12) to the conclusion that Aruṇa commented on the *Saṃgraha*. 77 AVI 215. P.V. Sharma (1993): Intr. 34. 78 NCC I, 373. STMI 24–25. Cat. Skt. MSS. N.-W.P.

Sharma (1993): Intr. 33. The NCC (IX, 76) mentions a *Liṅgānuśāsana* by Durgasiṃha. 84 A. Kümmel (1940). See on this work by Maheśvara and its commentary: CC I, 446 and 633; II, 150 and 228; NCC VII, 337; C. Vogel, IL 330–331. Jñānavimalagaṇi completed his commentary in A.D. 1598.
