Cat. Tanjore Nrs. 11086–89. Wellcome α (Bheṣajakalpa with ṭīkā). Editions: *a with Telugu translation, Madras 1916. b ed. by V.S. Veṅkaṭasubrahmaṇyaśāstrī and C. Rājarājeśvaraśarmā, CCRIMH, Pub. 32, New Delhi 1977; this ed. is based on eight South Indian MSS (Cat. Tanjore Nrs. 11086–89, one of the Madras MSS, and three other ones) and is provided with notes and various readings. References are to b. 43 The name of the treatise is mentioned in the first and last verses, as well as in the colophon. The title of the work is Bheṣajakalpasthāna in some of the MSS (see B. Rama Rao, 1984: 14–18). An anonymous Bṛhadbheṣajakalpa is recorded in the Check-list (Nr. 163) and STMI (41). Compare Bheṣajakalpasamgraha, -sāra, and -sārasamgraha. 44 The text of ed. b begins with the statement that it is expounded by Bhāradvāja. Cat. Mysore XIII, Nr. 42154 ascribes the treatise to Bharadvāja, Nrs. 41357 and 42158 ascribe it to Bhāradvāja. 45 NCC II, 154. The colophon says that the Bheṣajakalpa forms the seventh chapter of the Āyurvedasudhānidhi. See also Cat. Mysore XIII, Nrs. 41357–59. P. Cordier regarded the Bheṣajakalpa as forming part of a Bhāradvājasamhitā, which was a comprehensive work on medicine, to judge from Veṅkaṭeśa's commentary on the Bheṣajakalpa (P. Cordier, 1903b: 323–324). 46 Ed. a has 408 verses. 47 Cat. Madras Nr. 13190. 48 Avadhānasarasvatī wrote an Auṣadhasamgraha and a (Vaidya)śataślokī. 49 Cat.

The Vaidyakalpasamuccaya (CC: not recorded), a commentary on the Vaidyakalpa (?), by Veṅkaṭeśakavi, son of Avadhānasarasvatī, recorded in the Check-list (Nr. 896) and STMI (253), is probably the same work. P.V. Sharma mentions (AVI 423) a Bheṣajakalpasamgrahavyākhyā by Veṅkaṭeśa (see Bheṣajakalpasamuccaya by Veṅkaṭeśa).
