v4.c57.605

10 Prose occurs in the chapter on bālaroga. 11 An exception is formed by a verse (jvara 188) on the fevers called abhinyāsa and hataujas, not described in the Mādhavanidāna. See Niścala’s comments on this verse. 12 See Niścala’s comments ad plīhayakṛt 1. 13 Compare the arrangement of the chapters in Vṛnda’s Siddhayoga. 14 Yonivyāpad 16 (identical with Siddhayoga 64.37): the commentary equates bhagaphala with kandaroga. 15 See Niścala ad madātaya 21–22. The majority of the editions of the Cakradatta consulted have a separate chapter on dāha. See also Niścala’s more general criticism of Vṛnda (ad vraṇaśotha 48), his rejection (ad udara 55–56) of the separate chapter on śothodara in the Siddhayoga, and his remarks on dagdhavraṇa (ad vraṇaśotha 48). 16 Cakra’s arrangement is justified by Niścala ad nāḍīvraṇa 1 and bhagna 1. 17 Jvara 65 (Caraka and Suśruta), 67–68 (Caraka); vātavyādhi 5 (Suśruta); śotha 50 (Caraka); nirūha 35 (Caraka); the Suśrutasaṃhitā is also referred to as Śālākya (netraroga 12). 18 Not incorporated in the Siddhayoga. 19 See rasāyana 34. Rasāyana 34–125 has been edited and translated by P.V. Sharma (1993c); the verses are in āryā metre (as indicated in the text: rasāyana 124), are those of the Yogaratnamālā, attributed to Nāgārjuna. Nāgārjuna is also mentioned as rasāyana 76. Nāgārjuna’s Lohaśāstra is absent from the much shorter chapter on rasāyana in Vṛnda’s Siddhayoga. 20 Ca.Ci.13.56–61. 21 See rasāyana 171; rasāyana 159–171, appended to the verses on śilājatu from Caraka, is called an upaskāra (addendum; see verse 171), partly from some other treatise (163–164); verse 169, however, is again from the Carakasaṃhitā (Ci.13.62). 22 Not indicated in the text itself, but in a remark added to it. 23 Borrowed from the Carakasaṃhitā (Ci.18.57–62). 24 The formulae of khaṇḍakūṣmāṇḍaka (raktapitta 66–73), borrowed from Hārīta according to Niścala (cf. Siddhayoga 9.49–56; vaṅgasena, raktapitta 156–160), amṛtādyaghṛta (vātarakta 28–34), and godhūmādyaghṛta (vṛṣya 26–36 = Siddhayoga 70.22–30). 25 This prescription is absent from the Siddhayoga. Śivadāsasena regards this Bodhisatva as a particular yogin, adding that some equate him with Lokanātha. Niścalakara (ad arśas 107–110) calls him Lokanātha.
