Krishnamachariar (1989): 911 (Vṛttaratnāvalī). 53 Maṅgalagiri is also the author of the commentary on the first chapter of a Rasapradīpikā, and of a medical treatise called Sūtrasthāna. B. Rama Rao supposes that he wrote a commentary on the Aṣṭāngahṛdayasamhitā. See B. Rama Rao (1975) and (1984).

Singh remarks in his Preface to ed. b that lavaṅgaka does not denote here the clove, as it usually does, but the root bark of a Cinnamomum species, called tvac in most āyurvedic texts; this usage points to a South Indian origin of the Bheṣajakalpa. See on this subject F. Zimmermann (1989): 91. 62 The same as talapoṭa according to the editors. 63 The same as kārpāsa according to the editors. 64 The editors give ilaikkaḷḷi as the Tamil name of this plant, which is identified as Euphorbia neriifolia Linn. and E. nivulia Buch.-Ham.

The Kavīndrācāryasūcipatram mentions a medical Rājamārtaṇḍa (Nr. 918), without giving the name of the author. Bhoja's commentary on the Yogasūtras bears the same title (CC I, 501–502). A jyotiṣa work called Rājamārtaṇḍa is also ascribed to Bhoja (CC I, 501–502; CESS A 4, 337–338 and A 5, 267; D. Pingree, 1981: 102). 73 CC I, 418 and 502. Check-list Nr. 587. STMI 40.
