129 Al-Ya'qūbī mentions an Indian medical work, called sindhṣhār, which is rendered in Arabic as ṣafw al-nuḥ, i.e., quintessence of success. See on this work F.R. Dietz (1833): 118; M. Steinschneider (1871): 489–490; A. Stenzler (1857): 327; M. Ullmann (1970): 105. A work called sindhstāq, also identified as the *Siddhayoga* by M.Z. Siddiqi, is quoted by al-Rāzī according to Ibn Abī Uṣaybi'a (M.Z. Siddiqi, 1959: 43). See on this subject R.E. Emmerick (1981).
