180 The Mādhavacikitsā contains at least more than forty verses which are borrowed from the Siddhasāra. Caraka, Suśruta, Vāgbhaṭa, and Cakṣuṣyena are quoted according to P.V. Sharma (AVI 261). These authorities are not quoted by name, but borrowings, at least from the first three, are frequent: for example, nāgarādyacūrṇa, agastyaharītakī, and puṣyānugacūrṇa derive from Caraka (Ci.15.129–131, 18.57–62, 30.90cd–96ab).
