726 Compare Cikitsākalikā 54 and A.h.Sū.6.159 (triphalā), 55 and A.h.Sū.6.164cd–165ab (trikaṭuka), 56 and A.h.Sū.6.166cd–167ab (pañcakola). 727 The recipe of saḍaṅgapānīya (100), for example, differs from Ca.Ci.3.145cd–146ab (see P.V. Sharma’s notes). 728 The recipe of pippalivardhamāna (115), for example, is a compromise, based on both Caraka and Suśruta (see P.V. Sharma’s notes). 729 The same subject is dealt with in the Carakasaṃhitā (Sū.25.40) and in Vāgbhaṭa’s works (A.h.U.40.48–58; A.s.Sū.13). 730 See P.V. Sharma’s explanatory notes to ed. d for more special features of the work. See also ABI 251–252; AVI 269–270; R.P. Bhatnagar (1992): 273–279; Satyaprakāś 343–347. 731 CBORI XVI, 1, Nrs. 71–73. R.P. Bhatnagar (1992: 267–268) mentions two more MSS which call Tiṣaṭa the son of Vāgbhaṭa; this author is convinced that Tiṣaṭa’s father was the Vāgbhaṭa who wrote the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdaya and Aṣṭāṅgasamgraha. Compare ABI 250; AVI 270; D.Ch. Bhattacharyya (1947b): 152. 732 ABI 250. AVI 270. P.V. Sharma (1972b): 90. The names of several authors from Kaśmīr end in -ṭa. R.P. Bhatnagar (1992: 269) remarks that names ending in -ṭa are common in the whole of western India (see his examples). 733 See P.V. Sharma’s Intr. to ed. d, 2. R.P. Bhatnagar (1992: 269–270), taking into consideration that sun-worship was popular among the Hindus of Sindh and the Pañjāb, assumes that Tiṣaṭa’s family belonged to Sindh. 734 Vṛddhatrayī 462. 735 J. Jolly (1901): 5 (C.G. Kashikar 6), and (1906): 467–468.

Jolly’s claim that pulse-examination is described in the Cikitsākalikā (Medicin 5; C.G. Kashikar 6), which would have proved a date posterior to the Śārṅgadharasaṃhitā, was later retracted by him (1906: 468, note 2); it was based on extracts from a MS described by R. Mitra (Notices IX: 146, Nr. 3051). 736 P.V. Sharma, AVI 270 and Intr. to ed. d, 1–2. 737 AVI 270. P.V. Sharma (1972b): 90 and 92. 738 AVI 270. 739 Compare, e.g., Cikitsākalikā 149–151 with Siddhayoga 5.41–44. 740 R.P. Bhatnagar’s (1992: 270–271) assertion that the arrangement of the diseases in the Mādhavanidāna has been guided to a great extent by the Cikitsākalikā is completely unfounded. 741 D.Ch. Bhattacharyya (1947a): 124–135; (1947b): 151–152. 742 G. Hāldār (Vṛddhatrayī 462) assigns Tiṣaṭa to the ninth or tenth century, D.Ch. Bhattacharyya to the first half of the tenth century (1947a: 125) or about A.D. 900 (1947b: 151–152), P.V. Sharma to the second half of the tenth century (AVI 271) or the ninth century (A.D. 875–900; see Intr. to ed. d, 3), J. Filliozat to the eleventh century (IC II, 160), and Winternitz (III, 551) to about A.D. 1300. Atrideva is of the opinion that he lived in the same age as Vāgbhaṭa or somewhat later (ABI 251). R.P. Bhatnagar (1992: 270), who regards Tiṣaṭa as the son of Vāgbhaṭa, places him in the first half of the fifth century (R.P. Bhatnagar assigns Vāgbhaṭa to the latter half of the fourth century). 743 NCC II, 284; III, 250. Check-list Nr. 374. STMI 228. H.D.
