430 See the examples given by P.V. Sharma (1968: 233–234). 431 P.V. Sharma is in error here. See on the Śakas in the Bṛhatsaṃhitā: A.M. Shastri (1996): I, 91. 432 See, for example, Bṛhatsaṃhitā 45.75. 433 AVI 159. 434 P.V. Sharma (1968: 227) and B.P. Shastri (1929: 177) give A.D. 505–587 as the period in which Varāhamihira lived. 435 P.V. Sharma (1968): 234–235. 436 Ca.Sū.1.25: āyurveda is triskandha; Bṛhatsaṃhitā 1.9: jyotiḥśāstra is skandhatrayādhiṣṭhita. 437 The term maraka is found at Bṛhatsaṃhitā 5.27; 11.12, 29, 30, 31; 12.21; 35.4; 45.79; 78.24; māra is used at 3.31, mārī at 86.33. 438 Bṛhatsaṃhitā 16.18; 74.5. 439 See S.R. Godbole, G.S. Pendse and V.A. Bedekar (1966): XV–XVI. 440 A.s.U.50.123cd reads: kāntānuvṛttiparamā sā strī vṛṣyatamā matā. The term is also found in the Hṛdaya (U.40.39: kāntānuvṛtti). 441 G.S. Pendse omits to give a reference. 442 Unfortunately, P.V. Sharma, though giving references to the Sanskrit texts he discusses, fails, in most of the cases, to do so with regard to the Saṃgraha. 443 See P.V. Sharma (1968): 197–198. 444 Buddhacarita 13.61; Saundarananda 10.55. 445 Buddhacarita 11.42ab and A.s.Sū.4.18ab; Saundarananda 14.30d and Ci.2.4d; 14.36d and U.1.104ab; 15.45 and U.50.194; 17.64d and Sū.8.2. 446 See P.V. Sharma (1968): 198–212. 447 See P.V. Sharma (1968): 212–213. 448 See P.V. Sharma (1968): 213–217. 449 See P.V. Sharma (1968): 217–227. 450 See P.V. Sharma (1968): 235–238. 451 See P.V. Sharma (1968): 238–244.

452 A.s.U.17.2 and A.h.U.14.6 (chinnāṃśukā). See on aṃśuka: U.P. Thapliyal (1979): 48–49. 453 A.s.Ci.9.77 = A.h.Ci.7.63. The term is also found in the Suśrutasaṃhitā (Ci.24.101). 454 A.s.Sū.21.2. 455 A.s.U.49.419. 456 A.s.Sū.14.2 and 3; U.6.51 and 26.11. 457 See also D.G. White (1996): 60. 458 See P.V. Sharma (1968): 244–262. 459 Compare the sarvasiddhārthāñjana of the Saṃgraha. See also D.G. White (1996): 49. 460 Compare D.G. White (1996): 53. 461 See P.V. Sharma (1968): 262–270. 462 See A.s.U.5.18. 463 See A.s.U.8.48. 464 See P.V. Sharma (1968): 271–278. 465 Compare ABI 218. See on the Gupta period in general, for example: B.L. Smith (1983); E. Zelliot (1983). 466 P.V. Sharma (1968): 32–33. 467 Cf. A.s.U.49.174. This device is mentioned in various texts dating from the Gupta period: Śūdraka’s Mṛcchakaṭika (P.V. Sharma, 1968: 221), Subandhu’s Vāsavadattā (P.V. Sharma, 1968: 243), and Bāṇa's works (P.V. Sharma, 1968: 247). It is also found in the Mahābhārata and Rāmāyaṇa (MW). 468 AVI 165. P.V. Sharma refers to the literary evidence of, for example, the Caturbhāṇī, in particular the Pādatāḍitaka. 469 The kathakacāraṇasaṅgha is mentioned at A.s.Ci.9.90 (see AVI 165); Agravāla had brought forward that the term occurs for the first time in Bāṇa, but the Saṃgraha may be somewhat earlier (P.V. Sharma, 1968: 215, 262). 470 A.s.U.50.106 mentions a pādalepa. See AVI 163. Magical pādalepas are, however, not unknown to Hindu traditions; see H. Brunner-Lachaux (1977): 44, 46.

471 AVI 163. See on the origin of image worship in India: P.V. Kane II.2, 706–712; U.P. Thapliyal (1979): 132–134. 472 AVI 164. 473 See, for example, A.s.Ni.1.19–31; Śā.12.4, Mauhūrtikas are mentioned at A.s.Śā.1.28 and A.h.Śā.1.31. 474 See Atrideva (ABI 218) and P.V. Sharma (1968: 199). The word is found at A.s.Ci.9.35. See also Indu ad A.s.Ni.9.6 (maṇiko 'liñjarākhyo jalādhāraḥ) and Ci.9.35 (aliñjarā maṇikā mahāmṛṇmayā jalādhārāḥ). See on aliñjara: V.S. Agrawala (1968): 9. 475 See P.V. Sharma (1968): 340; S.K. Śarmā (1992): I, 7. 476 Compare Hilgenberg and Kirfel (1941): XIX; J. Jolly (1900a): 263, (1901): 29 (C.G. Kashikar 36). 477 A.s.U.49.392 = A.h.U.39.161. 478 P.V. Sharma (1968): 340. 479 The opinion that Saṃgraha and Hṛdaya prescribe mercury for external use only (see S.K. Śarmā, 1992: I, 7) is obviously wrong. 480 A variant of Ca.Ci.25.116b (hemakāntārasottamamaiḥ) reads hemakālāyasottamamaiḥ. P.V. Sharma adopts this variant in his edition. 481 See Su.Sū.46.326–329ab. 482 J. Jolly (1901: 8; C.G. Kashikar 11) remarks that Buddhism was still in a flourishing condition in the Indus region in the seventh century. 483 See the survey in P.V. Sharma (1968): 313–314. 484 Jyotiṣacandra Sarasvati (upodghāta 14 to ed. ff). 485 G.P. Srivastava (1954): 63. 486 G. Hāldār, Vṛddhatrayī 44. 487 HIM III, 790–796; G. Mukhopādhyāya (1913): I, 18–24. 488 P.V. Sharma (AVI 160). 489 N. Saxena (1995): 61. 490 AVI 165. 491 P. Kutumbiah (1969): XXXV. 492 A.F.R. Hoernle (1978): 10–11. 493 A.B.
