228 Ad Ca.Ci.3.74 229 Ad Ca.Ci.3.63–67; Cakrapāṇidatta gives the same quotation, but omits the ardhaśloka at the end. 230 Ad Cakradatta, jvara 63. 231 Ad A.h.Śā.1.5. 232 Ad A.h.Śā.1.5. 233 Ad A.s.Ni.1.19–31; U.1.22; 5.7–8; 40.32–33. 234 Ad A.h.Sū.5.20cd–21. 235 Ad A.s.U.1.22. 236 Ad A.s.U.5.7–8. 237 Ad A.s.U.40.32–33. 238 See: Nagnajit. 239 See: Dāruka. 240 NCC VII, 284. 241 Ad Su.U.1.4cd–8ab. G. Hāldār (Vṛddhatrayī 186) regards this Jīvaka as a Buddhist. P. Cordier (1903b: 350) recorded a Bālatantra by Jīvaka. 242 Yogaratnasamuccaya 21.115, 121–136ab, 177. 243 Bower MS II.1081 and 1097–1099. 244 Cakradatta, ślīpada 24–30; Śivadāsasena regards Jīvaka as identical with Bṛhaspati in his comments on this formula. R.C. Majumdar’s claim (1971: 230) that the Jīvakatantra is quoted in Cakrapāṇidatta’s Bhānumatī must be based on some misunderstanding. 245 Ṭoḍara VI: 16.30–36. 246 Vaṅgasena, ślīpada 56–63. Cakrapāṇidatta, Ṭoḍara and Vaṅgasena attribute the formula of saureśvara- or saureśvarīghṛta to Jīvaka; this compound medicine is also found in other treatises, without its attribution to Jīvaka (Vṛnda’s Siddhayoga: 42.25–28; Yogaratnākara 631). 247 G. Mukhopadhyaya (HIM III, 683–684) quotes a formula of Jīvaka to be used in the treatment of children; this formula is said to be found in commentaries. 248 Vaṅgasena, strīroga 341–344. 249 See: Jīvakapustaka. 250 See: Kāśyapasaṃhitā. 251 See: Kāśyapasaṃhitā. 252 See J. Mulholland (1987): 32, 49, 51. 253 Some of his patients were children (see A. Peiper, 1957: 40–41). 254 Trephination is not mentioned in āyurvedic literature. See on this subject: R.F.G. Müller (1959); K.G. Zysk (1985): 3–4, 67, (1991): 13, 54, 56, 60, 120–121. 255 The Sanskrit equivalent is Kumārabhṛta, i.e., nourished by a prince, which name alludes to the stories concerning his birth and infancy; Komārabhacca may, however, also refer to his being a specialist in kaumārabhṛtya (*T.W. Rhys Davids and H. Oldenberg, 1882: VIII, 171, according to A. Peiper, 1957: 34–54). J. Jolly (1901: 68; C.G. Kashikar 84) and T.W. Rhys Davids (*1899: II, 65; see A. Peiper, 1957: 34) render the word as ‘physician of children’. 256 See on the sources: K.G. Zysk (1991): 150–151; see also K. Butzenberger and M. Fedorova (1989): 97, n.30. The main source is the Mahāvagga: see H. Oldenberg’s edition of the Vinayapiṭaka, vol. I, 268–289; English translation: I.B. Horner (1962): IV, 379–398. See also E.M. Hare (1965): 150.
