kalikā 1, together with Candraṭa's comments on it; R.P. Bhatnagar (1992: 271) adds Amṛtayogamālā, Tiṣatasūtra and Yogasamuccaya as alternative titles. A medical work, called Tantra, by Tiṣaṭa, is recorded in the NCC (VIII, 87; see also VII, 26); this entry probably refers to the Kavindrācāryasūcipatram (Nr. 956), which mentions a Tiṣaṭācāryakṛtatantra. 697 Editions: a J. Jolly, Zur Quellenkunde der indischen Medizin. 4. Die Cikitsākalikā des Tiṣaṭācārya, ZDMG 60, 1906, 413–468. This is an edition and German translation of the first forty-seven verses of the Cikitsākalikā, together with extracts from Candraṭa's commentary, based on five MSS about which the editor gives no information, in two different versions, the one being much longer than the other. Jolly gives extracts from both versions; his translation of the commentary is a condensed rendering that summarizes both versions. b Cikitsā-kalika: or Essentials of treatment by Tisatacharya, with the commentary of Chandrata, edited and revised by Kaviraj Narendra Nath Mitra and translated into Hindi by Jayadeva Vidyalankara Ayurvedacharya, Hindi Press, Lahore 1926/27. The text of the commentary is based on three MSS about which the editor gives no information (see C.G. Kashikar's review of ed. c in ABORI 30, 1950, 359). c Cikitsa Kalika of Tisatacharya, edited by Vayaskara N.S. Mooss, with a preface by Prof. P.K. Gode; prastāvanā by Śaṅkaraśarman (i.e., N.S. Mooss); publ. by the Proprietor, Vaidyasarathy Press, Vaidyasarathy Series, Book No. 10, Kottayam 1950. Reviewed by C.G. Kashikar in ABORI 30, 1950, 358–361. This edition is based on five MSS, which are described in the editor's sūcipattra. The text is that of MS ka, belonging to the editor; the variants from the other MSS are given in footnotes. The Lahore ed. was not accessible to N.S. Mooss. d Cikitsākalikā of Tiṣaṭācārya, containing Sanskrit commentary of his son Candraṭa, edited with English commentary (i.e., translation) and explanatory notes by Prof. P.V. Sharma, The Chaukhamba Ayurvijnan Granthamala 21, 1st ed., Varanasi 1987. The text of this edition is that of b; it contains three Appendices: I, additional verses found in the other edition (i.e., ed. b) and in MSS; II, plants and drugs used in the text (with Latin or English names); III, units of weight; an index of verses is found at the end. The explanatory notes, incorporating the gist of Candraṭa's commentary, are very valuable. *e ed., with a Gujarātī translation, by Rasiklāl Vaidya, Saṃjīvanī Press, Amadāvād (Ahmedābād), n.d. References are to ed. d. 698 The number of verses is 401 in editions b and d, 403 in Berlin MS Nr. 946, 404 in *Oxford MS Nr. 852 (see J. Jolly, ed. a, 467), 406 in München MS Nr. 384, and 408 in ed. c. Some MSS have 412 or even 425 verses (*Rajasthan Oriental Institute, Udaipur, MSS Nrs. 492–493; see P.V. Sharma's intr. to ed. d, 9). Tiṣaṭa himself states (verse 400) that his work counts 400 stanzas. The 401 verses of editions b and d are commented upon by Candraṭa. Some formulae found in later works and said to derive from the Cikitsākalikā are absent from the text of editions b and d: the third type of māṣataila of the Cakradatta (vātavyādhi 162–164), taken from the Cikitsākalikā according to Niścalakara, is only found in ed. c (verses 311–323; compare Appendix I of ed. d, verses 28–30); some verses of Candraṭa's Yogaratnasamuccaya, quoted from the Cikitsākalikā, namely the verse classifying haemorrhoids and the formula of harītakīcūrṇa, are found in ed. c (see D.Ch. Bhattacharyya, 1947b: 151–152; P.V. Sharma, intr. to ed. d, 9).
