80 See also Khila 2.5 on the supplementary character of the Khilasthāna. 81 See, for example, 37, 45, 93, 111, 123, 126, 213, 219, 255. 82 A chapter, no longer extant, called navegāndhāraṇīya, is referred to (106); a chapter of the same name forms part of the Carakasamhitā and Bhelasamhitā. The viśeṣakalpa chapter (225) refers to the sūtikopakrama chapter of the Khilasthāna; one of the Khilasthāna chapters (5.3) mentions the rasavimāna chapter. 83 See, for example, 7, 74, 85, 86, 125 (dvivraṇīya 21), 203 (bhojanakalpa 15), 217, 289 (Khila 9.53). The views of the great sages are mentioned at Sū.20.5. 84 See, for example, Sū.27.58–61ab (46). 85 Compare the beginning of the udāvartacikitsita chapter with Ca.Ci.26.5–10. 86 The surgical school is mentioned at dvivraṇīya 5 (123); a paratantra is referred to at Khila 11.15. 87 Compare the quotations from Kaśyapa and Kāśyapa. 88 See ed. b, pariśiṣṭa (118–120). Hemarājaśarman's private collection contained an incomplete MS of the Jvarasamuccaya, dating from A.D. 924, and a complete one, said to be about eight hundred years old. 89 See G.J. Meulenbeld (1974): 104–105 and 165–167. 90 See G.J. Meulenbeld (1974): 108–109 and 173. 91 V.N. Pandey and A. Pandey (1988): 14. V.N. Pandey (1992): 237. 92 R.C. Majumdar (1971): 227. 93 Compare on special features of the Kāśyapasamhitā: ABI 204–212; AVI 143–149; A. Kumar (1994), passim; R. Śāstrī (1977): 457–470; Sūramcandra (1978): 69–71; P.V. Tewari (1992): 435–436, (1996): Intr., XXIV–XXXII, to ed. d, (1997): 108–154. 94 See A. Kumar (1994): 20. 95 See A. Kumar (1994): 191. 96 This use of the term vajra is not known from other medical treatises. 97 Stanakīlaka is probably mastitis, eventually giving rise to a mammary abscess. The term stanakīla occurs in the Cakradatta (strīroga 58; explained as a synonym of stanavidradhi, a mammary abscess, by Śivadāsasena). See on stanakīlaka: P. Tivārī (1990): 439–449. 98 See on this chapter: A. Kumar (1994): 63–77. 99 Compare the description of the human set of teeth in the Visuddhimagga (see Jyotir Mitra, 1985: 71–72). 100 Rituals mentioned are mārutī iṣṭi, sthālīpāka, and prājāpatya iṣṭi. 101 These types are called sāmudga, samvṛta, vivṛta, and sampad. 102 This subject, not dealt with in the Carakasamhitā, is discussed in the Suśrutasamhitā (Sū. 16). 103 See the Hindī commentary. Cf. Ca.Sū.13.14–17. 104 Cf. Ca.Sū.13.22. 105 See on Kāśyapa's types of sveda: A. Kumar (1994): 148–150. A type called paṭasveda is mentioned in Siddhīsthāna 3 (156). The Carakasamhitā describes thirteen types of agnisveda and ten types of anagnisveda (Sū.14.39–40 and 64–65ab). 106 The term kaṭhora refers to hard objects. 107 The Carakasamhitā appears to distinguish four varieties, associated with vāta, pitta, kapha, and rasa and other constituents of the body (Ci.15.42–49), but it may also be that it considers ajīrṇa to be essentially of one type. The Suśrutasamhitā describes four types, called āma, vidagdha, viṣṭabdha and rasaśeṣa (Sū.46.502–503), but differs from the Kā-
