Apart from the peculiarities already referred to, some more features are worthy of mention. The treatment of galagaṇḍa and gaṇḍamālā is dealt with twice, in the śālākya chapter (514–520) and in that on śalya (286–308). That part of the śalya chapter which deals with the kṣudrarogas includes a description of harītakī and its seven varieties, and of āmalakī, vibhītaka, and triphalā (390–412). ¹⁴⁶³ At the end of some sections there occur verses on karmavipāka (śalya 199 and 238–241), but this is not a conspicuous element of the Parahitasamhitā, while, on the other hand, religious therapy plays a prominent role (śālākya 304–308, 391–392, 547–550, 716–724; śalya 199–201, 238–241, 469–470, 657).
