v4.c58.12.1

187 Śivadāsasena refers consistently to Candraṭa as Candraṭa. 188 Toḍara IX: 1.132. 189 Niścala ad Cakradatta, grahaṇī 77–85. 190 See Niścala ad Cakradatta, arocaka 2 and 4; unmāda 21–28; upadaṃśa 4 and 5; karṇaroga 8, 11, 30. 191 Not recorded as a work of Candraṭa in the NCC. 192 NCC: not recorded. 193 AVI 209 and 426 (repeated by B. Rama Rao, 1992: 305). The Dravyāvalī is also called Dravyakoṣa or Vaidyakoṣa (AVI 209 and 426.). Candraṭa’s Dravyāvalī (also called Vaidyakoṣa) is quoted by Niścala according to G. Hāldār (Vṛddhatrayī 53). 194 CC I, 180. 195 NCC VI, 354. 196 NCC: not recorded. Ad Cakradatta, agnimāndya 87. 197 CBORI XVI, 1, Nr. 176. 198 The same applies to Candraṭa’s Yogaratnasamuccaya, as becomes apparent from remarks of Śivadāsasena in his commentary on the Cakradatta. See, e.g., his comments ad jvaracikitsā 75, where he states that this yoga is also found in Candraṭa’s śamanādhikāra (= gadaśāntyadhikāra), and those ad vraṇaśothacikitsā 52 and vṛṣyādhikāra 15–24. 199 Ad Siddhayoga 74.16–17. 200 AVI 209, 271, 286. P.V. Sharma placed Jejjata in the ninth century (AVI 207–208, 271, 286) and concluded, because Tiṣaṭa and Candraṭa are quoted by Cakrapāṇidatta, that both lived in the tenth century (AVI 271 and 286). R.P. Bhatnagar (1992: 287) agrees with P.V. Sharma, but, on another page of the same article (1992: 280), he assigns Candraṭa to the middle of the fifth century. 201 Jejjata lived, in my opinion, in the seventh or eighth century.

202 In his commentary on the Cikitsākalikā and in the Yogaratnasamuccaya. 203 In the Yogaratnasamuccaya, as claimed by D.Ch. Bhattacharyya. 204 Ad Cakradatta, agnimāndyacikitsā 39. 205 A.F.R. Hoernle (1978: 100) placed both authors in the ninth or tenth century on faulty grounds, because he departed from a wrong chronology of Dṛḍhabala, while D.Ch. Bhattacharyya, assuming, on weak grounds, that both lived after Vṛnda, places them in the first half of the tenth century (1947a: 124–125; 1947b: 151–153). The quotation from Vāṅgadatta in Candraṭa’s Yogaratnasamuccaya (see AVI 285) has no certain chronological value, because Vāṅgadatta is absent as one of Candraṭa’s sources from the lists compiled by P.K. Gode and D.Ch. Bhattacharyya. 206 P.V. Sharma (AVI 213) calls the author Govardhana(datta). 207 P.V. Sharma (1993: Intr. 21 and 22) regards the Bṛhattantrapradīpa as a work of Bhavyadatta in his edition of Niścalakara’s Ratnaprabhā; formerly (AVI 213), he attributed it to Naradatta, Cakrapāṇi’s teacher. In spite of these claims, it may have been written by Bindusāra (see Niścala ad Cakradatta, jvara 232–233 and jvarātīsāra 16–25). The references to the Bṛhattantrapradīpa and Bhavyadatta in the Ratnaprabhā (ad mukharoga 1) need not imply that Bhavyadatta wrote the treatise; Bhavyadatta may have been acquainted with it. 208 NCC III, 205. 209 NCC VI, 183. 210 NCC VI, 183: not mentioned as a work of Govardhana.

v4.c58.12.3

The Nyāyāsāradī, quoted once by Niścala (ad Cakradatta, gulma 57–59), may be identical with the Nyāyasārāvalī (see D.Ch. Bhattacharyya, 1947b: 144: P.V. Sharma, 1993: Intr. 20). 211 NCC VI, 183: not mentioned as a work of Govardhana. 212 See: Niścala. 213 See: Niścala. 214 D.Ch. Bhattacharyya (1947b): 147. 215 P.V. Sharma (1993): Intr. 23. 216 See: various authors of undetermined date. 217 See Niścala ad Cakradatta, kuṣṭha 29: the Karmamālā is acquainted with a verse of Amitaprabha. 218 See Niścala ad Cakradatta, raktapitta 14: Mādhava's Svalpayogavyākhyā agrees with Govardhana's Paribhāṣāvalī. Niścala refers several times to Govardhana and an unidentified Mādhava (who may be earlier than Govardhana) as authors with the same opinion; see Niścala ad kāsa 59–64; unmāda 29–30; gulma 9–10; udara 57. 219 D.Ch. Bhattacharyya (1947b): 144. 220 D.Ch. Bhattacharyya (1947b): 155. G. Hāldār (Vṛddhatrayī 52 and 463) regards Govardhana(datta) as a friend of Cakrapāṇidatta; he is credited with the Cikitsāleśa and a commentary on Naradatta's Tantrapradīpa. 221 See Niścala ad Cakradatta, jvara 64; madātyaya 11–12; udara 57; śotha 48–51. 222 NCC VI, 183. 223 NCC: not recorded. *India Office Library manuscript Ch ii.003: incomplete, contains no colophon; extant are the folios numbered in the margins from 44 to 116. A.F.R. Hoernle (1917) studied part of the MS;

he provided a transcription of the Khotanese and the Sanskrit texts, a restoration of the Sanskrit, and a translation of the Khotanese text of Jivakapustaka [1]–[3] and [18]. A facsimile of the text was published by H.W. Bailey (Codices Khotanenses, 1938, 71–141), as well as a transcription of the Sanskrit and Khotanese texts (Khotanese Texts I, Cambridge 1945, 136–195). The Khotanese text was edited, with an English translation and a vocabulary, by S. Konow, A medical text in Khotanese, Ch. II 003 of the India Office Library, with translation and vocabulary; Avhandler utgitt av Det Norske Videnskaps-Akademi i Oslo, II. Hist.-Filos. Klasse, 1940 No. 4, Oslo 1941 (reviewed by H.W. Bailey, BSOAS 10, 1939/42, 1021–1023, M. Leumann, OLZ 1942, 11/12, 465–467, and *H. Oertel, KZ 67, 1942, 244). H.W. Bailey (1983) translated part of the first tract of the Jivakapustaka. Hoernle intended to publish a study of folios 44–72recto under the title of ‘An ancient medical manuscript from Eastern Turkestan’ as volume 2 of his ‘Manuscript remains of Buddhist literature found in Eastern Turkestan’ (Vol. 1 was published at Oxford in 1916; second edition, Delhi 1988); his planned edition included a lengthy introduction on the manuscript, its script, and its language, and contained besides his edition and translation of the Khotanese text his reconstruction of the Sanskrit text (see R.E. Emmerick, 1982; 1984a: 142; 1992: 61; 1992a: 43); A.F.R Hoernle's article was published in: S.K.

Belvalkar (1917): 415–432. R.E. Emmerick (1992, 1994) edited, translated and annotated the Sanskrit and Khotanese versions of Jivakapustaka 44recto1–47verso3 (the Svastika antidote) and 51recto4–52verso3 (the Mahāsauvarcalādi ghee). Some parts of the Jivakapustaka (text, English translation, glossary) are (imperfectly) reproduced, without mention of the source and the name of the work, in Kshanika Saha (1985). See on some other medical texts in Khotanese: H.W. Bailey (1983): 1234; R.E. Emmerick (1979b): 49, (1992a): 45.
