3 The Vyagradaridraśubhaṃkara

v3.c42.s33.1

The Vyagradaridraśubhaṃkara 184 is mentioned several times in Niścalakara's Ratnaprabhā; Gopāladāsa quotes it as the Vyagradīnaśubhaṃkara in his Cikitsāmṛta. 185

v3.c42.s33.2

Niścala refers to the work as Śubhaṃkara, 186 Śubhaṃkara, 187 and Vyagradaridraśubhaṃkara. 188 Niścala's quotations and remarks show that it was a treatise in verse, arranged in chapters (prakaraṇa) dealing with a particular type of preparation. 189 The Vyagradaridraśubhaṃkara was written before the Cikitsāsaṃgraha, which contains verses borrowed from it. 190 Some other stanzas of the Cakradatta, composed by Cakrapāṇi, are adaptations of verses found in his earlier work. 191 The Vyagradaridraśubhaṃkara is probably referred to, without mentioning its name, in Niścala's remarks ad śotha 6. 192
