Vīreśvara
v3.c44.s50.1
Vīreśvara, son of Devīdāsa, grandson of Dvivedaraghuvaṃśa, pupil of Vihārīlālamisra (a gauḍa, who resided in Argalāpura), wrote the Rogārogavāda708 in Iṣṭakāpatha in A.D. 1668/69.
v3.c44.s50.2
It is an interesting work of a dialectical nature, which enters into a discussion of the views of ancient scholars of medicine. Vagbhaṭa’s Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā was Vīreśvara’s chief authority and is often quoted together with two commentators on that treatise, Aruṇadatta and Hemādri. Other sources quoted are Caraka, Mādhava and Suśruta.709
