v3.c42.s5.15

The Vimānasthāna of the *Bhelasaṃhitā* differs considerably from the same section of the *Carakasaṃhitā*. Two of its chapters bear titles which are identical: Vi.1 (rasavimāna; = Ca.Vi.1) and 5 (vyādhitarūpīya; = Ca.Vi.7). The subject matter of chapter three, the title of which has not been preserved, and of chapter four (rogaprakṛtiviniścaya) is related to that of chapter six (rogānika) of Caraka’s Vimānasthāna. Chapter six (ṛtuvimāna) is concerned with seasonal regimen (ṛtucaryā), described in chapter six (tasyāśitīya) of the Sūtrasthāna of the *Carakasaṃhitā*.³⁵
