Hāldār (Vṛddhatrayī 470) claim that Viśvanāthasena, paṇḍit at the court of the Gajapati king Pratāparudra and author of the *Pathyāpathyaviniścaya*, wrote a commentary, called *Sārasaṃgraha*, on Cakrapāṇi's *Sarvasārasaṃgraha*. P.V. Sharma (AVI 210) also refers to this commentary. N.N. Das Gupta (1936/37: 157) was doubtful about the identity of the author of the *Sarvasārasaṃgraha* (see his references to some MSS of the work). G.N. Mukerjee (1927: 19) mentions the *Sārasaṃgraha* as a work on treatment, distinct from the *Cikitsāsaṃgraha*. A MS of the *Sarvasārasaṃgraha* (Cat. Skt. MSS. N.-W. P. I, 586, Medicine Nr. 21) probably contains the *Cakradatta*. 7 This work, apparently on grammar, is attributed to Cakrapāṇi by P.V. Sharma (AVI 210) and Haridattaśarman (upodghāta to ed. ee of the *Carakasaṃhitā*, page pha: title *Vyākaraṇacandrikā*). 8 Cakrapāṇi does not mention the title of his work; he refers to it as a (yoga)saṃgraha, i.e., a collection of prescriptions. It should be avoided to call Cakrapāṇi's treatise *Cikitsāsaṃrasaṃgraha*, which is the title of Vaṅgasena's work. 9 NCC VI, 281 and 284. Check-list Nrs. 165 and 166. STMI 42.
