STMI 40: a treatise on the preparation of compound medicines which appears to be a chapter of the Rājamārtaṇḍa. The Check-list (Nr. 585) mentions that the Rājamārtaṇḍa is also called Yogasamgraha and records (Nr. 586) a MS of an anonymous Rājamārtaṇḍayogasāra. 83 A MS of an unspecified text called Bhojarājīya is also recorded (Check-list Nr. 157; not recorded in the CC). 84 Cat. Madras Nrs. 13267–69. Cat. Mysore XIII, Nrs. 41627 and 42194; the introductory verses of 42194 differ from those of ed. d. See on the MSS: ed. d, Preface. Editions: *a ed. by Veṅkaṭeśa Śāstrulu, Rāmasvāmī Śāstrulu and Sons, Vavillā Press, Madras 1949 (Appana's Telugu rendering of the Cārucaryā, accompanied by a short Sanskrit version in 136 verses); see on this edition: ed. d, Introduction, IX. *b ed. by Veṭuṛi Veṅkaṭa Śāstrī, Ārṣa Rasāyanaśālā, Muktyāla 1957 (a version in 404 verses, with free Telugu translation); see on this edition: ed. d, Introduction, IX. *c ed. by Dr. V. Raghavan in a volume of short Sanskrit poems, Malayamārutaḥ II, Tirupati 1971, 79–95 (a version in 135 verses). d Cārucaryā by Bhoja Raja (a medieval work on personal hygiene), ed. by B. Rama Rao, Indian Institute of History of Medicine, CCRIMH-Monograph Publication-6, Hyderabad 1974; this edition is based on editions a and b and three MSS (described in the Introduction, IX–X). See on the Cārucaryā: D.V.S. Reddy (1950); D.V.S. Reddy and B. Rama Rao (1964); B. Rama Rao (1971), (1973). References are to ed. d. 85 The title of the work is mentioned in the first and the last verse. The author is said to be Bhojanṛpa (1) or Bhojabhūbhuj. A Dinacaryālakṣaṇa by Bhojarāja (NCC IX, 41) may be the same work as the Cārucaryā or part of it. 86 See the last verse that indicates that it is written for princes. 87 See the first verse of the treatise. 88 Their number ranges from 136 to 495 (see B. Rama Rao's Intr. to ed. d, XI; see also B. Rājapurohit, 1990: 18 and 120–121). B. Rama Rao collected all the verses from three MSS and two previous editions (a and b), reaching thus a total of 785. The original text may have been rather short, for Appana's Telugu rendering, dating from the thirteenth or fourteenth century (B. Rājapurohit, 1990: 17, places Appana in the thirteenth century; B. Rama Rao assigns him to the thirteenth or fourteenth century in the Intr. to ed. d; P. Hymavathi, 1993: 53 and 55, mentions the first half of the fourteenth century, adding that the earliest Telugu work quoting a verse from Appana's Cārucaryā, is the Sakalanītisammatamu, which belongs to about A.D. 1400), has only seventy-six verses. This Telugu translation has been edited twice, by *Veṭuṛi Prabhākara Śāstrī, Muktyāla 1922, *reprinted by the Ārṣa Rasāyanaśālā Muktyāla 1967, and *ed. a of the Cārucaryā. See on Appana: P. Hymavathi (1993): 55. 89 See B. Rājapurohit (1990: 129–130) on the style of the Cārucaryā. 90 See B. Rājapurohit (1990): 122–133. 91 Present in only one MS. 92 Present in only one MS. 93 Not yet traced in the Bhāvaprakāśa. 94 E.g., Cārucaryā 63 = Bhāvaprakāśa 1.5.73; 92 = 1.5.88. Compare B. Rājapurohit (1990: 124–125) on verses from the Bhāvaprakāśa, incorporated in some versions of the Cārucaryā.
