The Bengali kāvya called Ṣaṣṭhīmaṅgal is devoted to the goddess (see P.K. Maity, 1988: 311). A ṣaṣṭhīkalpa, a ritual to be performed on the sixth day of a lunar fortnight (compare Pakṣaṣaṣṭhī), is described in the Mānavagṛhyasūtra (2.13; see M.J. Dresden, 1941: 154–157). Cf. A.h.U. 1.21. 148 Pūtanā is more than once referred to in the Kāśyapasaṃhitā (see, for example, 166 and 170). 149 Kaṭapūtanā is mentioned in Guṇacandrasūri’s Mahāvīracariya as Kaḍapūyaṇā; she obstructed Mahāvīra’s austerities (see U.P. Shah, 1952/53: 36). 150 The same six types are listed in the Carakasaṃhitā (Sū.19.4); Suśruta distinguishes thirteen varieties (U.55). 151 This disorder is referred to in the Carakasaṃhitā (Ci.28.29), but not described separately.
