41 See C. Vogel (1965: 19), who refers to MSS Nrs. 741 and 742 of Th. Aufrecht (1864). The form Saṅghagupta also occurs in the colophons of Cat. Madras MS 13072 and Cat. IO MS 2650 (twice Saṅghagupta and twice Siṃhagupta in the latter). 42 See N.S. Mooss, Intr. to his ed. of the Hṛdaya with the Śāśilekhā, part 1. 43 Wellcome δ2 (see D. Wujastyk, 1985). 44 The former interpretation of the colophon is more probable than the latter. See D. Wujastyk (1985). 45 G. Huth (1895a): 270. 46 C. Vogel (1965): 19. 47 Cat. München Nr. 373 (compare J. Jolly, 1912: 49–50). 48 Gadanigraha, prayoga khaṇḍa, guṭikādhikāra 457–459 (dvitīyā khadiraguṭikā). 49 Vṛddhatrayī 268. G. Mukhopadhyaya (HIM III, 788–789) and P.V. Sharma (AVI 164) seem to share this view. 50 Some of the ingredients are musk (sāraṅgadarpa), mercury, mica, and gold. 51 Indu is of the opinion that Vāgbhaṭa pays homage to the physicians (vaidyāgama jña) in his ancestry in the opening verses of the Samgraha. 52 Ad Cakradatta, jvara 91. Niścala also refers to Vāgbhaṭa as a muni, for example, ad Cakradatta, jvara 20. 53 D.Ch. Bhattacharyya (1947a): 122. C. Vogel (1965: 8) thought it not to be altogether impossible that Mahājāhnu was Vāgbhaṭa’s domicile. See on the identification of Mahājāhnu: Jejjata. 54 Silently assumed by J. Jolly (1901): 8 (C.G. Kashikar 11). 55 AVI 162. P.V. Sharma (1968): 231–232 and 306–307. 56 P.V. Sharma supposes that Śakas were present in or near Sindh in Vāgbhaṭa’s times. 57 The beauty of Śaka women is praised. Compare Kālidāsa’s Raghuvamśa (4.61) on the beauty of Yavana women. 58 See Ca.Vi. 1.18; Ci.30.316. 59 See Su.Ci.29.29 and 30.30. 60 P.V. Sharma omits references; a passage he may have had in mind is, for example, A.s.Sū. 3.113. 61 See R.C. Majumdar c.s. (1948): 154. 62 R. Śāstrī (1977: 666) remarks that Śakas, Hūṇas, Kuṣāṇas, etc., are all lumped together, being mlecchas, in Indian sources. P.V. Sharma (1968: 207, 259) also says that all kinds of foreign peoples are designated as Śakas in Indian texts and that the Samgraha designates the Hūṇas in this way. See on the Śakas: H.W. Bailey (1983): 1230–1232; S. Chattopadhyaya (1955); E. Lamotte (1976): 493–523, 537–543; J.E. van Lohuizen-de Leeuw (1949): 41–47, 326–329; U.P. Thapliyal (1979): 28–31. See on the Kuṣāṇas: U.P. Thapliyal (1979): 33–35. See on the Hūṇas: D.R. Bhandarkar (1968): 32–33; U.P. Thapliyal (1979): 35–36. 63 P.V. Sharma (1968): 307–308. 64 P.V. Sharma refers to *Gauriśaṅkar Caṭarji’s Harṣavardhana (p.89) and M.A. Stein (1961: I, 83). 65 P.V. Sharma even asks himself whether the Dhanvantari, mentioned among the nine gems at Vikrama’s court (enumerated in the Jyotirvidābharaṇa; see: Dhanvantari), may have been Vāgbhaṭa (AVI 162). See on kings called Vikramāditya, for example: K.R. Nandargikar’s edition of Kālidāsa’s Raghuvamśa (1971): Critical Notice 41–67.
