Compare on these instruments: G. Mukhopādhyāya (1913/14): 95–96. See also R.F.G. Müller (1943–52: 251), who omits prabandha and adds nāḍī. 437 The two missing items from the list of śastras are the kuśapatra and kuṅkumapatra (57. 22). Compare on the yantras and śastras: Su.Sū.7–8 and A.h.Sū.25–26. 438 Cf. Su.Sū.12.16; A.h.Sū.30.46cd–49ab and 52cd. 439 Cf. Ca.Ka.12.87–97; Su.Ci.31.7; Śārṅgadhara I.1.14cd–44ab. See on Indian weights and measures also: H.T. Colebrooke (1808); T.A. Gopinatha Rao (1920–1921). The first system of the Hāritasamhitā (1.1–2) begins with the aṇu, which is a quarter of a sarṣapa; it mentions the valla: 4 māṣa = 1 valla, 4 valla = 1 karṣa. The second system begins with the pala: 768 yava = 1 pala. 440 Cf. Ca.Ka.12.102–103; Su.Ci.31.11; A.h.Ka.6.19cd–20ab. 441 Different kinds of clysters are not distinguished. 442 This may be the same as nāḍīsveda, mentioned at III.2.143 (compare Ca.Sū.14.43). 443 This may be the same as kumbhīsveda, mentioned at III.2.143 (compare Ca.Sū.14.56–58), or the ghaṭīsveda of III.2.145. 444 This may be the same as pariṣeka and avagāha, mentioned at III.2.143 (compare Ca.Sū.14.44–45). 445 Mentioned at III.2.145. 446 Cf. Su.Sū.14.24–45; A.h.Sū.26 and 27. 447 Compare Su.Sū.13 and Hastyāyurveda IV.34. The Suśrutasaṃhitā and Hastyāyurveda describe six poisonous and six non-poisonous leeches. The indrāyudhā and kṛṣṇā (probably corresponding to Hārīta's kālikā type) form part of Suśruta's poisonous group. 448 The same seven varieties are described in the Bhāvaprakāśanighaṇṭu (harītakayādi 8–18), Bower MS (II.923–925: trivṛtā takes the place of cetakī), Madanapālanighaṇṭu (1.9–15),
