Many groups found enumerated in prose in the Suśrutasaṃhitā (Sū.38) recur in A.s.Sū.16 and A.h.Sū.15. 573 AVI 167. P.V. Sharma (1968): 32. 574 Omitted are: āmalakyādi-gaṇa, bṛhatyādi-gaṇa, lākṣādi-gaṇa, trapvādi-gaṇa, and utpalādi-gaṇa; the Hṛdaya omits the pippalyādi-gaṇa too. See AVI 167; P.V.

Sharma (1968): 68. 581 AVI 168. P.V. Sharma (1968): 58; see the table, comparing Suśruta and Vāgbhaṭa: 59. 582 P.V. Sharma (1968): 60. 583 The sources of much of the additional material of the Uttarasthāna of Saṃgraha and Hṛdaya cannot be traced. The commentators on both treatises are silent, for example, on the sources of these new karṇarogas, which were not incorporated in the Mādhavanidāna, for which reason we do not dispose of comments by Śrīkaṇṭhadatta, who might have elucidated where they come from. The same diseases are absent from the Cakradatta and many later treatises. A text that did take notice of them, partly, in its lists of diseases of the ears and of the earlobes is the Śārṅgadharasaṃhitā, which makes mention of tantrikā among its eighteen karṇarogas (I.7.142–144ab). The commentator Āḍhamalla, however, makes tantrikā into an already known disorder by equating it with karṇakṣveḍa and quoting the description of that disease as found in the Mādhavanidāna (57.4). Pippalī is one of the seven diseases of the earlobes in the Śārṅgadharasaṃhitā (I.7.144cd–145), but equated by Āḍhamalla with umantha, as described in the Mādhavanidāna (57.18cd–19). A treatise that accepted the list of ear diseases of Saṃgraha and Hṛdaya is Anantakumāra's Yogaratnasamuccaya. 584 Another, not tallying, description of karṇaśūla is found at Su.Ni.1.84. 585 P.V. Sharma (1968): 60. 586 P.V. Sharma (1968): 60. 587 P.V. Sharma (1968): 61–62; 61: see table. 588 P.V. Sharma (1968): 62. 589 P.V. Sharma (1968): 62. 590 The emperor Aśoka suffered from it according to the Divyāvadāna (Kuṇālāvadāna); see AVI 168 and P.V. Sharma (1968): 62–63. 591 P.V. Sharma (1968): 62. 592 P.V. Sharma (1968): 63. The subject is not unknown to the Suśrutasaṃhitā (Ci. 22.27–31ab). 593 P.V. Sharma (1968): 64. 594 P.V. Sharma (1968): 64. 595 P.V. Sharma (1968): 55. 596 P.V. Sharma (1968): 49.
