116 The same as sārivā (P.V. Sharma, 1997). 117 The same as jiṅgiṇī, i.e., *Linnea coromandelica* (Houtt.) Merrill = *L. grandis* Engl. (P.V. Sharma, 1986e and 1997). 118 The same as himsrā, i.e., *Capparis sepiaria* Linn. (P.V. Sharma, 1986e and 1997). 119 The same as dantī (P.V. Sharma, 1997). 120 Identified as *Pergularia daemia* (Forsk.) Chiov. = *P. extensa* R.Br. (P.V. Sharma, 1986e). 121 *Edited, with Tamil translation, by V.B. Nataraja Sastri, Tanjore Sarasvati Mahal Series Nr. 19, Tanjore 1951. STMI 40: the name of the first recipe is also the title of the work. Cat. Tanjore Nr. 11110: complete, ascribed to Bhojarāja. The work is said to contain 129 compound formulae, eight of which are rasayogas (L.V. Guru and L.D. Dwivedi, 1982). P.V. Sharma (1986e: 84) claims that the Rājamṛgāṅka deals with mineral drugs, mercurials, and drugs of animal origin, and that it therefore should be called Rasarājamṛgāṅka. 123 Edition: The Rājamṛgāṅka of Bhojarāja, edited by David Pingree, Aligarh Oriental Series, No. 7, Viveka Publications, Aligarh 1987 (also published in Aligarh Journal of Oriental Studies 4, 1, 1987, 1–68). See on the work: K.M.K. Sarma (1940). 124 Cat. Berlin Nr. 974. 125 STMI 40: a work on veterinary surgery. 126 CC I, 582. The name is not mentioned in the Bhāvaprakāśa and its glosses; it is also absent from P.V. Sharma's list (1972a: 73–74) of authors and works quoted in the Bhāvaprakāśa. 127 Mentioned as a work of Bhoja by P. Rāy (1956: 128) and P.V. Sharma (AVI 470). *Edited by Yādavjī Trikamjī Āchārya, Bombay 1923 (ABI 470; C.G. Kashikar, 1977: 156). 128 S.K. Śarmā (1992: I, 20) regards it as a work on rasaśāstra. 129 See: Bhoja. 130 CC I, 418; II, 95; III, 90. CESS A 4, 336–339; A 5, 266–267. See also: Śālihotra of Bhoja, critically edited by E.D. Kulkarni, Sources of Indro-Aryan lexicography: 11, Poona 1953, Intr. 18–20; B. Rājapurohit, 1990: 311–314. See for his works on dharmaśāstra P.V. Kane I.2, 585–591, and P.V. Kane (1953/54); see for those on astrology and astronomy: CESS A 3, 336–339, and The Vidvajjanavallabha of Bhojarāja, ed. by D. Pingree, the M.S. University Oriental Series, No. 9, Baroda 1970, 1, note 3. The career of king Bhoja has been described by D.C. Ganguly (1933): 82–122. Compare on his reign: G.C. Choudhary (1963): 96; D.C. Ganguly (1989a): 66–67. Tales about Bhoja are told in Merutuṅga's Prabandhacintāmaṇi and Ballālasena's Bhojaprabandha. B. Rama Rao (1978: 9) has suggested that the Cārucaryā may have been composed in Āndhra; his arguments are firstly that the work has been very popular there until recent times, secondly that most of the MSS are found in Telugu script, and thirdly that it was translated into Telugu by Appana. P. Hymavathi (1993: 51–55) agrees largely with B. Rama Rao. 131 D.Ch. Bhattacharyya (1947b): 145. 132 R.C. Majumdar (1984): 28–32. 133 The materia medica has some points of resemblance with that of the Haramekhalā. 134 P. Hymavathi (1993): 51–55. 135 P. Hymavathi refers to the *History of Sanskrit Literature (written in Telugu) of M. Gopala Reddy and M. Sujata Reddy, Hyderabad, 1980. 136 See on this work, popular in Āndhra: CC I, 183; S.N. Dasgupta and S.K. De (1947): 437; Krishnamachariyar 503–504; Winternitz III, 375. 137 See on him: D.C. Ganguly (1989b): 200–202. 138 See on her: D.C. Ganguly (1989b): 202.
