Müller (1932): 798. 81 P. Cordier (1903b); references are absent from this article. 82 See Hoernle's remark in the Emendations to his ed. of the Bower MS. The formula of mahābindughṛta, attributed to Kṛṣṇatreya in Niścalakara's Ratnaprabhā (ad Cakradatta, 29–31; II.22, 418–425); they are probably taken from the floating medical tradition. 83 See Hoernle's notes, abounding with references to parallels from many medical treatises. A number of formulae of the Nāvanītaka form part of medical treatises which are of a much later date (e.g., Vāṅgasena's Cikitsāsārasaṃgraha; see Hoernle's notes to I.106–108, 129, 131; II.22, 418–425); they are probably taken from the floating medical tradition. 84 See Hoernle's table of formulae to which no parallels were known to him (Intr. 88–91). 85 Cakradatta, kuṣṭha 97–100: from the Nāvanīta; arśas 120–126: from the Nāvanītaka. 86 The verses quoted from the Nāvanīta ad Cakradatta, kāsa 48–49, are identical with Bower MS II.160–161. See also ABI 237 and Vṛddhatrayī 167. 87 The six quotations from a Nāvanīta in Anantakumāra's Yogaratnasamuccaya cannot be traced in the Nāvanītaka. 88 Quoted in Candraṭa's Yogaratnasamuccaya. 89 Nāvanīta: ad Cakradatta, raktapitta 79–81, kāsa 48–49. kuṣṭha 97–100; Nāvanītaka: ad arśas 120–126, vātavyādhi 180–184, kuṣṭha 104–110; Nāvanītakasaṃhitā: ad nāsāroga 29–31; Nāvanītatantra: ad svarabheda 12. 90 D.Ch. Bhattacharyya (1947b): 143; Vṛddhatrayī 167. Atrideva (ABI 236) and G. Hāldār (Vṛddhatrayī 166) claim that the Nāvanītaka is mentioned by Cakrapāṇidatta; this claim is unfounded. 91 See on parts IV–V and their contents: Hoernle's Intr., 91–94, and the Appendix to part V. 92 The Appendix to part V contains, in a tabular form, Hoernle's critical edition of those parts of Garga's work which correspond to the fragments of part V. See also Hoernle's Intr., 92, where he presents a Gujarātī text with English translation on the modus operandi in cubomancy. See on the Pāśakakevali, its various titles, the manuscripts, editions, etc.: NCC XII, 76–77; CESS A 2, 122–126 and A 5, 84–86. See also NCC V, 48 (Pāśakakevali by Garga). The work was studied and translated into German by A. Weber (1859); it has been edited at \*Kāśī in 1884, at \*Madras in 1890, and by \*J.E. Schröter (1900). The game with dice called pāśa(ka) is found in several texts, for example: Nīlakaṇṭha's commentary ad Mahābhārata, Virāṭaparvan 50.24 (ed. Poona), Śūdraka's Mṛcchakaṭika, and the Vidhurapaṇḍita-Jātaka (Nr. 545) (see S. Oleksiw, 1980–81). See on Indian divination: E. Balfour (1967): I, 959–961; G.M. Bolling (1911a); \*E. Hultzsch (1879); H. Jacobi (1911c); B. Laufer (1987f); E. Thurston (1912): 273–288; A. Weber (1859). 93 Parts VI and VII contain the second and third sections of the expanded versions. See Hoernle's Intr., 94–95, his annotated translation of parts VI and VII, the two Appendices to part VI, and the Appendix to part VII. See on the term vidyārājñī: J. Przyluski (1923). 94 See the beginning of part VI. The story about the monk Svāti is also found in the Bhaiṣajyavastu of the Mūlasarvāstivādin-vinaya (see J.L. Panglung, 1980: 66–67); it has a parallel in the Khaṇḍhavatta-Jātaka (Nr. 203) and its commentary (see on this Jātaka, its interpretation, and its relationship with the Khaṇḍhaparitta: P. Schalk, 1972: 13–21; L.A. Waddell, 1912/13: 163–164). The incident of a monk, bitten by a snake, is also found in the Saṃyuttanikāya and Aṅguttaranikāya (see E.M. Hare, 1962: 81–82), as discovered by S. von Oldenburg (see G. Bühler, 1893: 271); compare the versions of the tale about Upa- - [Previous: v4.c57.35](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.meulenbeld-1999.v4.c57.35) - [Next: v4.c57.37](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.meulenbeld-1999.v4.c57.37) - [Up: v4.c57](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.meulenbeld-1999.v4.c57) ## Linked texts (10) - [Jātaka](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.jataka) — Pāli - [Cakradatta (Cikitsāsaṅgraha)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.sangraha.cakradatta) — Cakrapāṇidatta, Sanskrit - [Mṛcchakaṭika](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.plays.prakarana.mrcchakatika) — Śūdraka, Sanskrit - [Bower Manuscript](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.yoga.bower) — Sanskrit - [Mahābhārata](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Saṃyuttanikāya](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.samyutta) — Pāli - [Aṅguttaranikāya](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.anguttara) — Pāli - [Ratnaprabhā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.tantra.yogini.hevajra-cycle.ratnaprabha) — Nāropa, Sanskrit - [Cikitsāsārasaṅgraha (Vaṅgasena)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.sangraha.vangasena) — Vaṅgasena, Sanskrit - [Yogaratnasamuccaya (Anantakumāra)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.yoga.yogaratnasamuccaya-anantakumara) — Anantakumāra, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.meulenbeld-1999.v4.c57.36](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.meulenbeld-1999.v4.c57.36) · Pramāṇa
