275 Vāgbhaṭamaṇḍana 20: identical with Bhela Vi.6.3cd–4. 276 Ascribed to Bhela are: jvara 55, 79, 85, 124; atisāra 41, 61–62, 69, 85–87; chardi 6–11 and 21; unmāda 13–14; vātavyādhi 31; prameha 30–37; udara 81–83; upadaṃśa 8. 277 Cakradatta, atisāra 61–62 = Bhela Ci.10.24–25; vātavyādhi 31 = Ci.26.16cd–17ab. 278 Niścala ad Cakradatta, madātyaya 3–6 = Bhela Ci.28.62; madātyaya 20 = Ci.28.91cd–92ab; unmāda 5 = Ci.9.30–31ab; unmāda 34–37 = Ci.2.34–37ab; vātavyādhi 16–17 = Ci.10.2 and 9; hṛdroga 1 = Ci.19.5; mūtraḳṛcchra 11 = Ci.12.1cd–2; vamana 10 = Si.1.12cd–14ab. 279 Gadanigraha, prayogakhaṇḍa, ghṛtādhikāra 95–101. 280 The formula of dhānvantaraḥṛta of the Cakradatta (prameha 30–37) is attributed to Bhela by Niścalakara. 281 Aruṇa ad A.h.Śā.5.30–32. 282 Hemarājaśarman 13 and 53. 283 Hemarājaśarman 20. 284 Compare Toḍara IX: 1.184cd and Bhela Si.1.5cd. 285 Compare this quotation (ad Mādhavanidāna 2.37–38) with Bhela Ci.2.4. 286 Bower MS II.802: bheli yavāgū. These gruels do not occur in the Bhelasaṃhitā, but it may be of some relevance that it mentions eight types of gruels (Sū.17.6). The mantra of the Bower MS (II.803–804), to be recited after taking a bhelī yavāgū, forms part of the Bhelasaṃhitā (Sū.7.16–17); see on this mantra the Bower MS. 287 See: Bower MS. 288 A.F.R. Hoernle (1909). 289 See: Bower MS. 290 See, for example, Ca.Sū.1.30–33. 291 J. Filliozat (IC II, 115) was also struck by the differences between the Bhela- and the Carakasaṃhitā, which made him conclude that the Bhelasaṃhitā represents a distinct tradition. 292 See special features of the Bhelasaṃhitā. 293 See special features of the Bhelasaṃhitā: the types of kuṣṭha. 294 A.h.Ci.21.70–73ab; the Bhelasaṃhitā does not contain the formula of sahacarataila, but does refer to it (Ci.2.45). 295 A.s.Ci.16.14. The Bhelasaṃhitā describes the kṣārāgada (Ci.5.40–48) and refers to this preparation (Ci.8.29; 14.20; 19.13 and 23). 296 See A.s.Ci.23.57–60. 297 Fragment H.vii 150, 10b2 KT5.60; this fragment reads Bhedā, followed by vīja, i.e., physicians (personal communication by R.E. Emmerick). 298 Compare Kāśyapasaṃhitā Si.1 and Bhela Si.6.2. 299 Treatises written in recent times form an exception. 300 See AVI 128–130. 301 Deities to whom homage should be paid by patients are Acyuta, i.e., Viṣṇu (Ci.2.40), Bhūtādhipati (Ci.2.40), and Vṛṣabhadhvaja, i.e., Śiva (Ci.2.40; Si.8.47). Physicians who are devoted to Rudra are referred to (Ci.1.51). P. Cordier (1903b: 325–236) already noticed the Śaiva tendencies of the Bhelasaṃhitā. 302 P.V. Sharma places the Bhelasaṃhitā in the seventh century. A.F.R. Hoernle (1909) supposed it to be older than the Nāvanītaka of the Bower MS. J. Filliozat (L. Renou and J. Filliozat, 1953: 151) expressed as his opinion that the Bhelasaṃhitā might be older than the
