rājārka) (see on the nomenclature: S.S.R. Bennet, 1987; WIRM III, rev. ed., 78) (P.V. Sharma, 1997), *Indigofera linnaei* Ali = *I. enneaphylla* Linn. (M. Abdul Kareem, 1997, Nr. 908; WIRM V, 178), *Osmanthus fragrans* Lour. (M. Abdul Kareem, 1997, Nr. 1214; P.V. Sharma, 1997), and *Premna barbata* Wall. (absent from WIRM; see Hooker IV, 579) (M. Abdul Kareem, 1997, Nr. 1337). 298 Possibly pasted sandal (P.V. Tewari). 299 Absent from P.V. Tewari's list. 300 Unidentified. 301 Tentatively identified as *Ipomoea maxima* (Linn.) G. Don (P.V. Tewari). Vṛṣaparṇī is identified as *Merremia gangetica* (Linn.) Cufo. = *M. emarginata* (Burm.f.) Hallier f. = *Ipomoea reniformis* (Roxb.) Choisy (see on the nomenclature: S.S.R. Bennet, 1987) (see M. Abdul Kareem, 1997, Nr. 1096). 302 The same as āragvadha (P.V. Sharma, 1997). 303 Unidentified. 304 A synonym of sarjarasa (P.V. Sharma, 1997) or vaṭa (P.V. Tewari). 305 Possibly a leafy vegetable (P.V. Tewari). 306 The opening verses of some chapters indicate that Kaśyapa did not always instruct Vṛddhajīvaka individually; Vṛddhajīvaka is the one who puts questions and to whom the answers are directed, but he is on some occasions surrounded by fellow pupils (see, for example, the beginning of Sū.25), while, on the other hand, Kaśyapa delivers his speeches in the company of other sages (see the beginning of the jvaracikitsita chapter and Khila 15). 307 See Kaśyapa and Kāśyapa. 308 The *Carakasaṃhitā* mentions a Mārīci Kaśyapa. 309 Prajāpati Kaśyapa is well known in Vedic and later Indian literature (see, for example: Dowson, Hopkins). 310 See P.C. Bagchi (1938): II, 589; Hôbôgirin *1385; B. Nanjio (1980): 201, Nr. 883. 311 P.C. Bagchi (1942/43). 312 See B. Nanjio (1980): Appendix II, 450–452, Nr. 159. Nanjio mentions that Dharmadeva, who changed his name into Fâ-hhien in A.D. 982, was originally a śramaṇa of the Nālandā monastery in Magadha; he translated forty-six works into Chinese in the period A.D. 973–981, and seventy-two more between A.D. 982 and 1001. 313 See: Kāśyapa. 314 See: Kāśyapa. 315 See the pariśiṣṭa of Hemarājaśarman's upodghāta to ed. b, 118–120. The relevant verses do not only occur in those parts of the *Kāśyapasaṃhitā* which are old or at least based on an earlier version, but in the Khilasthāna as well. 316 Hemarājaśarman 14–20. R. Śarmā (1959): 67. R. Śāstrī (1977): 468. Jyotir Mitra (1974: XIX) claims that the *Kāśyapasaṃhitā* was present in its original shape before the birth of Buddha. R.C. Majumdar (1971: 227) regards the *Kāśyapasaṃhitā* as not much later than the *Bhelasaṃhitā*. P.V. Tewari (Intr., XIII, to ed. d; 1997: 41) suggests, tentatively, that Mārīci Kaśyapa of the *Carakasaṃhitā* may be the Kaśyapa of the *Kāśyapasaṃhitā*. 317 P.V. Tewari (Intr. to ed. d, XXXIII; 1997: 157) expressed a similar view. 318 U.P. Shah (1958): 276. Vṛddhatrayī 170–171. 319 ABI 205. AVI 139. Hemarājaśarman 20–23, 80. Jyotir Mitra (1985): 329.
