A number of Indian scholars also noticed the identity of the so-called Rasaratnākara with the Rasendramaṅgala and commented on the remarkable fact that all the verses from the Rasaratnākara MS in *P.C. Rāy’s ‘A History of Hindu Chemistry’ and P. Rāy’s ‘History of Chemistry’ form part of the Rasendramaṅgala. Explicit notice of this may have been given first by Durgāśaṃkar Kevalrām Śāstrī in his *Āyurvedno itihās* (1942).⁴ Atrideva Vidyālaṃkāra’s references to this discovery⁵ were repeated by later Indian authors.⁶
