561 These mātṛkās are distinct from the bālagrahas who are described in the classical saṃhitās and many later works, though some of the mātṛkās bear the same or similar names (e.g., Mukhamanḍikā, Pūtanā, Revatī, Śakunī). Some medical treatises, for example, the Hārītasamhitā, deal with both bālagrahas and mātṛkās, but in separate chapters (Hārītasamhitā III.54: the pūtanās, who are the same as the mātṛkās; 55: the bālagrahas). See on the Tibetan equivalents of the mātṛkās, called ma-mo: R. De Nebesky-Wojkowitz (1993): 269–273. See on their Khmer equivalents: Ch. Ang (1992).
