Haripāla

v3.c43.s22.1

Haripāla was the author of (1) a *Vaidyakaśāstra* and (2) a *Yogasāra*. 504 The *Vaidyakaśāstra* is a therapeutic treatise in 256 Prakrit verses (*gāthā*), completed in 1284/85.

v3.c43.s22.2

Haripāla was a Jain, as appears from his paying homage to the Tīrthaṅkaras at the beginning of the *Vaidyakaśāstra*. At the end he refers to the *Yogasāra*, which is therefore earlier.
