śyapasamhitā in regarding the first three types as caused by vāta, pitta and kapha respectively. 108 Not mentioned elsewhere as a distinct disease. 109 The Carakasamhitā regards visūcikā and alasaka as the two varieties of āmapradoṣa (Vi. 2.20). 110 Absent from the list in the Kāśyapasamhitā are: akṣibheda, dantabheda, lalāṭabheda, khañjatva, manyāstambha, pāruṣya, sarvāṅgaroga, and tamas; added are: anilagraha, glāni, pratīśyāya, sāndhya, śrama, śvāsa, vandhyātva, and vātakaṇṭaka. 111 Cf. Ca.Sū.24.11–17 and 28.11–13c; Bhela Sū.11.8cd–9ab; Su.Sū.24.9. 112 See on part of this list: P. Tivārī (1990): 69–71. 113 See on the sattva typology: G.J. Meulenbeld (1997). 114 The Hindī commentator supposes them to be caused by the evil eye (dṛṣṭidoṣa). 115 See on this passage: S.K. Mishra (1992): 311. 116 The Kāśyapasamhitā mentions that a pupil should present his guru with haviṣyaudana as a dakṣiṇā and should touch his guru's arms (57), details not found in the corresponding chapter of the Carakasamhitā (Vi.8). 117 Compare the version of the Carakasamhitā, which intercalates Prajāpati between Brahmā and the Aśvins; Kaśyapa, Vasiṣṭha and Bhṛgu are mentioned in the Kāśyapasamhitā, but Atri is absent and there are replaced by Ātreya. 118 Another reference to Jainism is probably found in the Kalpasthāna (185), where a particular compound medicine, the pāñcabhautikataila, is said to be recommended by all the Tīrthakaras. See on Jain terms in the Revatikalpa: V.N. Pandey (1992): 234. 119 See about the types of samhanana in Jain literature: H. von Glasenapp (1964): 170–171; W. Schubring (1962): 142–143. The term samhanana occurs in the Carakasamhitā (Vi.8.16; Śā.8.32). 120 Nārāya and addhanārāya are the names of two types of samghayana (= samghaṭana) in Jain canonical texts; their Sanskrit equivalents are nārāca and ardhanārāca according to H. von Glasenapp. 121 The term palyopama indicates a very high number in Jain texts (see K.R. Chandra, 1970: 316). 122 Cf. Ca.Śā.1; Su.Śā.1. 123 The number of kaṇḍarās is fourteen in the Kāśyapasamhitā, sixteen in the Suśrutasamhitā (Śā.5.11); the number of kūrcas is forty-two in the Kāśyapasamhitā, six in the Suśrutasamhitā (Śā.5.13). 124 See P. Tivārī (1989): 147–158, 163. 125 See P. Tivārī (1989): 111–116. 126 See P. Tivārī (1989): 125–128. 127 See P. Tivārī (1989): 129–135. 128 Cf. Su.Śā.5.8; A.h.Śā.3.10cd–11. 129 Their number is said to be 360 in a previous chapter of the Śārīrasthāna (66). 130 The other series is found at Ca.Śā.7.9. 131 Cf. Ca.Śā.7.14. 132 Cf. Ca.Śā.7.15. 133 Compare the śārīravicaya chapter (79). See P. Tivārī (1989): 76. 134 See P. Tivārī (1989): 66–68. 135 Ca.Śā.8.10–11. See P. Tivārī (1989): 91–95.
