530 HIM III, 551 and 810. P.V. Sharma (1975a). 531 Hāritasamhita I.3.3 = Siddhasāra 1.33 (see R.E. Emmerick, 1977a: 213). 532 Hārita's chapter on amlapitta is related to that of the Mādhavanidāna on the same subject. 533 See on the earliest occurrences of Cannabis: G.J. Meulenbeld (1989). 534 The Hāritasamhita and Vṛnda's Siddhayoga are the earliest works prescribing kañcaṭa (compare G.J. Meulenbeld, 1985a). 535 Māḍa is described in the Dhanvantariyanighaṇṭu (5.70–71). 536 Murāmāṃsī is mentioned in Ṭoḍara's Āyurvedasaukhya (IV.8.137). It may be the same as the ākāśamāṃsī of the Dhanvantariyanighaṇṭu (3.95–96) and the murāhvaya of Tiṣaṭa's Cikitsākalikā (see the commentary ad 375). Compare on these names K.V. Billore and M.R. Uniyal (1974). 537 Rudrajaṭā is prescribed in the Cakradatta (mūtraghāta 12; vṛddhi 20). 538 The earliest occurences of tulasī are found in the Aṣṭāngasaṃgraha (U.6.51) and Siddhasāraṇighaṇṭu (105). 539 Yugandhara is rarely mentioned in āyurvedic literature; see, e.g., Yogaratnākara 21. 540 See AVI 136–137 and P.V. Sharma (1975a): 6. 541 The author of the printed Hāritasamhita is often regarded as posterior to Vāgbhaṭa (HIM III, 551 and 810; Sūramcandra I, 226–227; Vṛddhatrayī 148–149) or at least later than Caraka (V. Śukla I, 69–70); P. Cordier (1901a: 83; 1901c: 180) placed him between Caraka and the author of the Mādhavanidāna; P.V. Sharma (AVI 135–137; 1975: 6–7) assigns his treatise to about the twelfth century; some scholars restrict themselves to the remark that the work is rather late (J. Filliozat in L. Renou and J. Filliozat, 1953: 151; A. Raison, 1974: Intr. VIII); J. Jolly (1901: 9; C.G. Kashikar 11) was non-committal. The only one convinced of the antiquity of the Hāritasamhita was Goldstücker (see J. Jolly, 1901: 9; C.G. Kashikar 11).
