(57.55–67) bear, one fever excepted (vyālākr̥ti replaces karṇamūla of the Yogatarangiṇī), the same names as those found in the Yogatarangiṇī, but their order slightly differs; more important, however, is that the descriptions, quoted from the Piyūṣasāgara, bear no resemblance at all to those occurring in the Yogatarangiṇī and are not found in any other text known to me; the treatment of this series of fevers is not dealt with. The second series (55.76–88) consists of saṃdhiga, antaka, rugdāha, cittabhrama, karṇaka, kaṇṭhakubja, śītāṅga, tandrika, pralāpaka, raktaṣṭhivin, bhugnanetra, abhinyāsa, and jihvaka; the descriptions of these fevers are, antaka excepted, identical with those of Śārṅgadhara's Triśatī; 565 Trimalla's description of antaka is not found in any other text; the verses on the treatment of these fevers (59.69–155) are borrowed from Śārṅgadhara's Triśatī again. 566 The addition of a chapter on jvarātisāra (65). 567 The description of daṇḍālasaka (71.20). 568 A description of bhasmaka (71.24–25) that is different from that of the Yogatarangiṇī. 569 The description of suptavāta under the name of tvakśūnyatā (90.267cd–268). 570 A separate chapter on ūrustambha (92). A separate chapter on the treatment of ānāha (97). The verse on kuraṇḍa of the Yogatarangiṇī (55.2) is absent, but the same disease (kuraṇḍa, koraṇḍa) is referred to in the verses on the therapy of vṛddhi (107.36 and 38). The definition of bradhna (107.13) 571 differs from that found in the Yogatarangiṇī (56.1); it is also called vardhma (107.46–47). The description of stanavidradhi (110.28–29). 572 The description, in prose, of agnidagdhavraṇa (113). The description of dāruṇa type of upadamśa, occurring in both men and women (117.8cd–9). The description of the aetiology, symptoms and treatment of a venereal disease called rativraṇa, 573 and of the intoxication brought about by the abuse of mercurial preparations (sūtadoṣa) (118). 574 A separate chapter on snāyuka (124). The addition of an adhikāra on śītalā to the chapter on masūrikā (126.78–105); this adhikāra also contains the well-known hymn to Śītalā from the Kāśīkhaṇḍa of the Skandapurāṇa. The number of chapters on gynaecology and obstetrics (133–143) is much larger than in the Yogatarangiṇī. The addition of a chapter on somaroga and mūtrātīsāra (135). 575 The addition of a chapter on strīdveṣa (136), taken from Nāgārjuna's Yogasāra. 576 The addition of a chapter on yonikaṇḍa (138). The addition of a chapter on makkalla (141). 577 The insertion of the pūtanāvidhāna from Rāvaṇa's Kaumārataṅtra in the chapter on children's diseases (144).
