v3.c48.s5.1
The earliest MS of Mādhava’s Pākāvalī may be completed in A.D. 1713 or 1813.⁶⁷ The earliest MS of the Āyurvedaprakāśa dates from A.D. 1786 (IO Nr. 2696); the original of another MS may have been written in A.D. 1673/74.⁶⁸
v3.c48.s5.2
Two sources of the Āyurvedaprakāśa, namely the Rasapaddhati and the Yogataragiṇī, belong to the first half of the seventeenth century. The quotations from the Bhāvaprakāśa and the Rasapaddhati prove that Mādhava Upādhyāya is later than the sixteenth century.
v3.c48.s5.3
