26 The formula of saureśvaraghṛta, also found in the Mādhavacikitsā (gala-gaṇḍādi 26), where the additional ardhaśloka, attributing the recipe to Jīvaka, is absent. The saureśvaraghṛta of the Siddhayoga (ślipada 25–28) is different. 27 This prescription is absent from the Siddhayoga. Śivadāsasena remarks that Kaca, the son of Bṛhaspati, is meant. This Kaca received the art of reviving the dead (mṛtasaṃjīvanī) from Śukrācārya; see Vettam Mani, who gives a summary of the story as told in the Ādiparvan (76–77; ed. Poona) of the Mahābhārata. See on Kaca also: S.A. Dange (1969): 155–237; S. Sörensen (1963). 28 This recipe was taken from the Carakasaṃhitā (Ci.26.226–230). 29 See: Niścalakara. 30 Cakra sometimes deviates from the text of the Suśrutasaṃhitā; an example is jvara 103 (compare Su.U.39.188cd–189; see Niścala’s comments). See also Niścala ad jvara 188. 31 See, for example, Niścala ad bhagna 11; kuṣṭha 24 and 150; mukharoga 52 and 53; anuvāsana 24–25. 32 The expressions vṛnde nāsti and vṛṇdato’dhikam are often used by Niścala. 33 A few examples are: chardi 20 (= Siddhayoga 15.16), 24 (= 15.21), 28 (= 15.29); tṛṣṇā 4 (= 16.3), 9 (= 16.6), 11 (= 16.8), 14 (= 16.10), 18 (= 16.18ab), 19 (= 16.18c–f), 20 (= 16.19), 21 (= 16.13), 22 (= 16.20), 25 (= 16.22); mūrchā 3 (= 17.3ab), 4 (= 17.3cd–4), 5 (= 17.5), 6–8 (= 17.6–7). 34 See, for example, Śivadāsasena ad grahaṇī 19, hikkāśvāsa 30–33, vātavyādhi 95–99. 35 Śivadāsasena says that the Bhaṭṭatraya consists of the Kārikā, Bṛhaṭṭīkā and Tantraṭīkā (ed. q has Candraṭīkā). The nature of these treatises is not clear, but it may well be that the three parts of Kumārila Bhaṭṭa’s exposition of Śabara’s bhāṣya on the Mīmāṃsāsūtra are meant (see S. Dasgupta, 1975: I, 370–371). 36 See grahaṇī 85–90 (the formula of rasaparpaṭikā). 37 See jvara 100–102 (pippalyādi-gaṇa; see Su.Sū.38.22–23); aśmarī 2–4 (vīratarādi-gaṇa; see Su.Sū.38.12–13); 11–12 (ūṣakādi-gaṇa; see Su.Sū.38.37–38); 20–22 (varuṇādi-gaṇa; see Su.Sū.38.10–11); see Niścala ad jvara 100–102 and aśmarī 2–4. These gaṇas, with the exception of the pippalyādi-gaṇa, are quoted from the Suśrutasaṃhitā in prose by Vṛnda (prose between 34.1 and 2, 8 and 9, 20 and 21. 38 Some verses deriving from Cakra himself are, according to Niścala: jvara 164, 188, 278; grahaṇī 19; apasmāra 28; vātavyādhi 5, 49, 170, 234ab; āmavāta 37cd; śūla 51 and 63; udāvarta 25b; gulma 10ef; aśmarī 11–12; prameha 37; sthaulya 1; śotha 28; vraṇaśotha 48; bhagna 1e; kṣudraroga 3, 22, 31ef, 82; mukharoga 33 and 82; karṇaroga 62; rasāyana 195ef. See Śivadāsasena’s commentary ad yonivyāpad 37–44. Some verses borrowed but changed by Cakra are, according to Niścala: unmāda 1; vātavyādhi 49; vātarakta 13; āmavāta 9. 39 Compare on special features of the Cakradatta, in particular on children’s diseases and their treatment: A. Kumar (1994). See on guḍūcyāditaila (vātarakta 21–22): R.B. Saxena, N.R. Sarda and K.L. Shah (1991), on tilādigutikā (pariṇāmaśūla 8–9): P.K. Warrier, S.M. Pillai and K. Santha Kumari (1977). 40 See on rasaparpaṭī: K.K. Srivastava and P.S. Chaure (1979); C.M. Tiwari and S.N. Tripathi (1979).
