The anonymous 728 JÑĀNABHĀSKARA 729 is an extensive work, in the form of a dialogue between Sūrya and his charioteer Aruṇa, on karmavipāka, which means that it regards illness as the result of morally wrong actions in previous lives. The descriptions of the diseases are sometimes very detailed; their cure rests entirely on religious observances. The introductory part of the treatise is about astronomical and astrological subjects. 730
