XI) mentions that the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris possesses copies of two Bikaner MSS, made at the request of P. Cordier, one incomplete, the other complete. Bodleian d.716(4); see D. Wujastyk (1990): 96. Cat. Bikaner Nr. 1398: catalogued as Hāritasāstra; the colophon calls it Ātreyabhāṣita Hāritottara; the MS, described as containing the Śarīrasthāna only, is complete, but has no pariśiṣṭādhyāya (A. Raison, 1974: Intr. XIII). CBORI XVI, 1, Nr. 83: catalogued as Cikitsāśāstrasamgraha by Hārita (?); this MS contains the Hāritabhāṣita, as attested by the introductory verses and by the colophons, calling the work Ātreyabhāṣita Hāritottara; Th. Aufrecht (CC II, 9 and 38) recorded it as the Cikitsāśāstrasamgraha by Ātreya. Cat. IO Nr. 2648: title Ātreyasamhitā; the last colophon (of III.56) calls the work Ātreyabhāṣita Hāritottara and Ātreyasamhitā (compare on this MS: F.R. Dietz, 1833: 158–160). Cat. München Nrs. 374–376: Ātreyasamhitā or Ātreyabhāṣita Hāritottara, agreeing with ed. b of the Hāritasamhita. Cat. Mysore XIII, Nr. 41339: Ātreyasamhitā (Hāritatantra); Nrs. 42968–69 (Hāritatantra; the colophon of Nr. 42968 calls it Ātreyabhāṣita Hāritottara). See on some of the MSS: D.V. Subba Reddy and B. Rama Rao (1973: 60). The Kavindrācāryasūcipatram records a Hāritatantra (Nr. 954). See also on MSS of a text called Ātreyasamhitā which contain a version of the Hāritasamhita: NCC II, 67–68; P. Cordier (1903b: 348–349); J. Filliozat (1934a: 127); J. Jolly (1906: 414–415); D.V. Subba Reddy and B. Rama Rao (1973: 60–61). P. Cordier (1903b: 349), J. Filliozat (1934a: 127) and J. Jolly (1906: 414) remark about an Ātreyasamhitā of the Bikaner Library that it differs from the printed editions of the Hāritasamhita in containing parts of other medical treatises: eleven chapters are taken from the Suśrutasamhitā and two from the Aṣṭāngahṛdaya; one chapter contains borrowings from Bheḍa, Cakrapāṇidatta, Caraka, Ravigupta's Siddhasāra, Suśruta and Vāgbhaṭa; chapter five of the Cikitsāsthāna reproduces the Saṃnipātārṇava, usually thought to form part of the Aśvinikumārasamhita; rasayogas and verses on nāḍīparīkṣā are also present.
