(1) The Soḍhalanighaṇṭu The Soḍhalanighaṇṭu ¹²³³ consists of two parts, a section on synonyms and homonyms, the Nāmasaṃgraha, ¹²³⁴ and one on the properties and actions of drugs, the Guṇasaṃgraha. ¹²³⁵ This arrangement of the material constitutes an unprecedented innovation. The work is written in verse, mostly ślokas, with longer metres in the introductory and closing stanzas of both sections. The Nāmasaṃgraha contains about 790 and the Guṇasaṃgraha 1,260 verses.
