16 Not otherwise known in āyurvedic literature. 17 See: Dāruvāha. 18 It is not clear who claims this view. 19 See: Hiraṇyākṣa. 20 See: Nimi. 21 Vṛddhajīvaka is not represented here as the pupil of Kaśyapa, but as a medical authority with his own opinions. The *Carakasaṃhitā* never credits Agniveśa with views that disagree with those of his teacher, Ātreya. 22 See: Gārgya. 23 Not otherwise known from āyurvedic literature. Several Māṭharas are known in Sanskrit literature (see Hopkins and Vettam Mani). 24 See: Parāśara. 25 Not otherwise known from āyurvedic literature, apart from the mention of a Kautsī digest of an extensive medical work, originally revealed by Brahmā to Atri (see *Hārītasamhitā*). Several persons bearing the name Kutsa or Kautsa appear in Sanskrit literature (J. Gonda, 1977; A.A. Macdonell and A.B. Keith, 1967; Vettam Mani). 26 See: Kaśyapa. 27 See: Janaka. 28 It is remarkable that Vātsya himself, who revised the original *Vṛddhajīvakatantra*, takes part in this discussion and is contradicted by Kaśyapa. 29 See *Kāśyapasaṃhitā* 293 (Ci.10.4: pārthiva), 294 (Ci.10.21: viśāmpati; 10.22: pārthiva), 300 (Ci.10.120: rājan). 30 See Hemarājaśarman 59; R. Śarmā (1959): 69. 31 *Kāśyapasaṃhitā* 324 (Khila 13.85: mahīpa). 32 See, for example, 33 (Sū.25.3), 331 (Khila 15.3). 33 The table of contents is found at the end of the Sūtrasthāna in the *Carakasaṃhitā*. 34 The Nidānasthāna is referred to in the Cikitsitasthāna (jvara 4) and Khilasthāna (17.9). 35 The eight divisions enumerated are kaumārabhṛtya, kāyacikitsā, śalyāhartṛka, śālākyā, viṣatantra, bhūtatantra, agadatantra (= vājīkaraṇa), and rasāyanatantra. 36 See: S.P. Dixit and P.V. Tewari (1977); A. Kumar (1994): 56–58; J.P.S. Oberoi (1973). Some preparations with a name are suvarṇaprāśana (4–5), abhayaghṛta (5), saṃvardhanaghṛta (6). Ghees referred to are kalyāṇaka-, pañcagavya-, and brāhmighṛta (5). 37 See on this chapter: P. Tivārī (1989): 677–695, 729–737. 38 See on this chapter: A. Kumar (1994): 63–79. 39 Cf. Su.Sū.16. 40 Cf. Ca.Sū.13. 41 Cf. Ca.Sū.14. 42 Compare Ca.Sū.15, also called upakalpanīya. 43 See on this chapter: A. Kumar (1994): 117–130. 44 Cf. Ca.Sū.9. 45 Cf. Ca.Sū.20. 46 See on this chapter: A. Kumar (1994): 95–116. 47 Cf. Ca.Śā.4. 48 The title of the chapter (karṇāyajayāvasthīvana) is not clear; Satyapāla supposed it to deal with the evil eye (dṛṣṭidoṣa), because the last verse, the single one extant, refers to avekṣitajagada (i.e., a disease caused by glancing at) and to its treatment by means of
