224 Text 1 runs from 44recto1–47verso3 (an agada), text 2 from 47verso4–88verso1 (ghees), text 3 (incomplete) from 88verso1–116verso5 (oils and powders); these texts consist of collections of formulae, written in Sanskrit and Khotanese (R.E. Emmerick, 1992: 60). R.E. Emmerick distinguishes four tracts in a later article (1994: 29); he divides text 3 into two sections, on oils (88verso1–105recto2) and powders (105recto2–116verso5) respectively, since the word siddham occurs at 88verso1 and 105recto2. 225 H.W. Bailey gave the work this title on account of the reference to Jīvaka. 226 See R.E. Emmerick (1979a). 227 R.E. Emmerick (1979a): 243. 228 These terms were studied by R.E. Emmerick (1979a). 229 See on the mahāsauvarcalādighṛta: R.E. Emmerick (1994), (1997). 230 See J. Filliozat's review of H.W. Bailey's Khotanese Texts I in JA 235, 1946–47, 134–135. For five prescriptions he gave references to Caraka, but one of these passages corresponds only in content, not in formulation; it has nevertheless proved possible to identify this passage (R.E. Emmerick, 1979a: 236). The earliest author to identify one of the prescriptions of the Jivakapustaka as being from Caraka was A.F.R. Hoernle (1917): 415–432; see on this article R.E. Emmerick (1982): 343. 231 A total of twenty-nine formulae has now been traced; see the list in R.E. Emmerick (1979a): 236. The Khotanese text of the Jivakapustaka has ninety-two sections and counts ninety formulations in S. Konow's edition. An additional formula, almost complete, is found at the end of the Sanskrit text, but without a Khotanese rendering. 232 Fifteen formulae were borrowed from the Siddhāsara. 233 R.E. Emmerick (1979a): 237; (1979b): 48–49. 234 See R.E. Emmerick (1992): 60. See on Khotan in general: H.W. Haussig (1983; see index); P. Hopkirk (1984; see index); D. Snellgrove (1987): II, 331–343; A. Stein (1971; see index). 235 CC and NCC: not recorded. 236 See Hemarājaśarman 13, 20 and 118: one MS was completed in A.D. 924, the other one is said to be 700–800 years old. 237 Hemarājaśarman 14 and 118. 238 Hemarājaśarman 20 and 118. The majority of these quotations are from the older part of the Kāśyapasamhitā, a minority is from its Khilasthāna. Fragments of the text of the Jvarasamuccaya which agree with the Kāśyapasamhitā are to be found at the end of Hemarājaśarman's upodghāta (118–120). 239 Ad Nidāna 2.18–23. 240 See Hemarājaśarman 118–119 for the pertinent fragment of the Jvarasamuccaya. Some of these verses are very close to passages of the Kāśyapasamhitā (Kalpasthāna, viśeṣakalpādhyāya, 215). Compare G.J. Meulenbeld (1974): 165–167. 241 NCC V, 131; VII, 153 (Janiḍoṣapratikāra, from Kriyākālaguṇottara). Filliozat, Liste Nr. 27. STMI 101: in five chapters (paṭala). The Check-list (Nr. 400) records a Kriyākalapaguṇottara. 242 Tāntrika Sāhitya 164. Compare the anonymous Bālacikitsā. 243 NCC V, 163: Netratantra; X, 218: Netroddyota, a Śaiva Tantra, by Rājānaka Kṣemarāja. See on the Netratantra: S.C. Banerji (1988): 396–397; T. Goudriaan and S. Gupta (1981): 127; Tāntrika Sāhitya 347.
