242 Atrideva (ABI 424) also holds this opinion. 243 The gaṇas of the Dravyāvali are not referred to in the Nighaṇṭu. Ed. b describes a number of additional substances at the end of vargas 1–6 (vargetāraṇi). See on the classifications of the Dhanvantariṇighaṇṭu: V. Dvivedī (1966): 156–180. 244 I.e., Cannabis sativa Linn. 245 I.e., the seeds of Papaver somniferum Linn. 246 E.g., buka (4.19–20). 247 Omitted in ed. d. 248 Compare on the contents of the Dhanvantariṇighaṇṭu: Bāpālāl Vaidya (1982), Appendix XV, 612–615. 249 Quotations are introduced by the frequently occurring anyac (e.g., 1.103 and 119; 5.2, 30 and 70; 6.119) and by the less frequent granthāntare (e.g., 6.43 and 51) or pāṭhāntare (4.79). 250 See varga 6(rasāḥ).27. 251 E.g., 1.153ab = Aṣṭāṅganighaṇṭu 255cd; 1.159ab = 264ab. See on the relationship between the two works: P.V. Sharma's Intr. to his ed. of the Aṣṭāṅganighaṇṭu. 252 Two verses (6.1 and 5) are also found in the Rasaratnasamuccaya, acc. to P.V. Sharma (AVI 376), but these may as well derive from some other rasasāstra text on account of the compilatory character of the Rasaratnasamuccaya. According to Atrideva (ABI 424), a number of verses on the properties of medicinal substances are taken from the Caraka- and Suśrutasaṃhitā. 253 It was translated into Tibetan under the title Sman-miṅ sgra-sbyor ṅes-pa or Bheṣajanāmanighaṇṭu by Ñi-ma rgyal-mchan in the late thirteenth or early fourteenth century, as recorded in Bu-ston's Chos-ḥbyuṅ; it was, however, not included in the Tibetan canon and does not appear to have been transmitted (C. Vogel, IL 374). Umeśacandragupta (VŚS, Preface 8) says that the Dhanvantariṇighaṇṭu is looked upon as the highest authority by the Benares school. 254 Gaṇadravyāvali, varga 1–5 = Soḍhalaṇighaṇṭu, Nāmasamgraha 9–65. 255 The verses common to both works are found in Soḍhala's Nāmasamgraha, not in the Guṇasamgraha; e.g., Dhanvantariṇighaṇṭu, guḍūcyādi 22 = Nāmasamgraha 107; 23 = 112; 25 = 114; 29 = 118; 61 = 137; 80 = 152; 90 = 157; 95 = 159, etc. Generally speaking, the Soḍhalaṇighaṇṭu enumerates a larger number of synonyms, but distinguishes less varieties than the Dhanvantariṇighaṇṭu. 256 Compare the quotations from the Dravyāvali. 257 Ad A.h.Sū.6.97cd-98ab (= guḍūcyādi 274 and 276; quoted as Nighaṇṭu); Sū.6.135cd-136ab (= āmrādi 38; quoted as Nighaṇṭu); Sū.6.158 (= guḍūcyādi 212; a quotation from Dhanvantari). 258 Ad Āyurvedābhiṣāra 183. 259 NCC IX, 228–229. 260 Quoted as Dhanvantari in his commentary ad A.h.Sū.6.158cd; quoted as Nighaṇṭu ad A.h.Sū.6.97cd-98ab and 136ab. 261 Ad Abhidhānacintāmaṇi 638cd-639ab = miśrakādivarga 45 (quoted as Dhanvantari). 262 Ad A.h.Sū.6.129 (= āmrādi 7; the source is not mentioned). 263 See P.V. Sharma (1970): 366. Compare: Indu. 264 Dhanvantariṇighaṇṭu 1.278 is quoted (without naming the source) ad Śabdabhedaprakāśa 3.44; 2.1 ad 4.26 (quoted as Nighaṇṭu); 2.11 ad 4.39 (quoted as Nighaṇṭu), etc. (see: Auguste Kümmel, 1940.)
