v2.c38.86

370 One of Hemādri’s remarks (ad A.h.Sū.9.12cd–13ab: on the guṇas regarded as vīryas) implies that Vāgbhaṭa refers to Kharanāda; another remark by the same commentator (ad A.h.Sū.6.75cd–78: on avalguja and eḍagaja) may point to the anteriority of the *Kharanādasamhitā* to the *Aṣṭāngasaṃgraha*; Vāgbhaṭa may have been influenced by Kharanāda since Anantakumāra’s *Yogaratnasamuccaya* contains a verse (14.57) said to be common to Kharanāda and Vāgbhaṭa; Keśava compares Kharanāda’s views with those found in Caraka and Suśruta, never mentioning Vāgbhaṭa.
