v4.c57.571

106 *Siddhayoga* 22.67 and 46.12; ābhā is related to babbūla, a species of Acacia, but the author of the commentary appears to be unacquainted with the source of the drug (he calls it a commercially available substance and regards it as identical with guggulu). Ābhā is already prescribed in the *Mādhavacikitsā* (bhagnavraṇa 10).
