222 Ad *Siddhabheṣajamaṇimālā* 2.281 (the *Āyurvedarasāyana* is quoted); 2.257 (Hemādri is quoted; the work referred to is the *Āyurvedarasāyana*). 223 *Vāgbhaṭamaṇḍana* 6 (the quotation is ascribed to Vopadeva) and 86. 224 The *Āyurvedarasāyana* is quoted. 225 Hemādri’s *Āyurvedarasāyana* is cited ad *Śivakoṣa* 168 (compare Hemādri ad Sū.6.76); 247; 265 (compare Hemādri ad Sū.3.35); 317 (compare Hemādri ad Sū.6.93); 400 (compare Hemādri ad Sū.6.106). 226 *Yogaratnākara* 157: a list of diseases is quoted. 227 CC I, 768. See on Hemādri: ABI 228–229 and 320; AVI 218; Bāpālāl Vaidya (1982): 534; R.G. Bhandarkar (1895): 116; J.D.M. Derrett (1973): 19–20; P.K. Gode (1936c) and (1939f); Jaggi IV, 28; J. Jolly (1901): 8 (C.G. Kashikar 10 and 159); Kane I.2, 749–755; A.B. Keith (1973): 448; M.A. Mehendale and A.D. Pusalker (1989): 335; G.J. Meulenbeld (1974): 435–436; H. Parāḍkar (1939): 32–39; L. Renou in L. Renou and J. Filliozat (1947): 440; V. Śukla I, 112–114; C. Vogel (1965): 16; *Vṛddhatrayī* 277 and 468; Winternitz III, 502. G. Hāldār (*Vṛddhatrayī* 468) mentions that Hemādri was also called Makkibhaṭṭa. 228 H. Parāḍkar (1939: 39) adds that he was a śuklayajurvedin. 229 The genealogy is given in the *Pariśeṣakhaṇḍa* of the *Caturvargacintāmaṇi*; see the praśasti, reproduced by H. Parāḍkar (1939: 36–37). 230 V. Śukla I, 112. 231 Hemādri belonged obviously to a circle of literati, and was not, at least not primarily, a medical practitioner; the commentarial literature shows that a dichotomy between medical literati and practising physicians developed in India, in the same way as in classical antiquity (see on the developments in classical antiquity: I.E. Drabkin, 1944). 232 See CC I, 178; R.G. Bhandarkar (1895): 116; Kane I.2, 749. The section on prāyaścitta does not appear to be by Hemādri (Kane I.2, 749). 233 See Kane (I.2, 755) about the influence of the *Caturvargacintāmaṇi* on the actual practice of vrata and dāna. 234 See Kane I.2, 750. 235 Some authors mention numerous titles of works by Hemādri, but most of these are parts of the *Caturvargacintāmaṇi* (see H. Parāḍkar, 1939: 34). 236 Mentioned as one of Hemādri’s works by Th. Aufrecht (CC II, 185); also attributed to Vidyādhara (CC I, 768). 237 CC II, 185. P.V. Kane (I.2, 753–754) mentions a *Śrāddhakalpa* according to the rules of Kātyāyana, which is distinct from the *Śrāddhakhaṇḍa* of the *Caturvargacintāmaṇi*. 238 CC III, 158. NCC VIII, 274. 239 CC I, 768. NCC V, 77. Hemādri is also credited with a commentary on Śaunaka’s *Praṇavakalpa* (CC II, 185; NCC XII, 241) and a commentary, called *Viveka*, on Vopadeva’s *Harilīlā* (H. Parāḍkar, 1939: 34); others assume that Hemādri, together with Madhusūdana Sarasvatī, had something to do with a commentary, called *Viveka*, on Kālidāsa’s *Raghuvamśa* (Kane I.2, 754–755): A *Kāmakutūhala* or -kautūhala, a metrical compendium on sexual therapy, is attributed to an author called Hemādrivaida (NCC III, 346: *edited, with Hindī translation, Bombay 1902). 240 Vopadeva was the author of three medical works. See: Vopadeva. 241 CC I, 768. ABI 228. HCIP V, 335 (M.A. Mehendale and A.D. Pusalker, 1989). Kane I.2, 752. K.A. Nilakanta Sastri (1971): 219. STMI 82. C. Vogel (1965): 16. See *Caturvargacintāmaṇi*, *Dānakhaṇḍa* 1.13.
