by G. Hāldār (Vṛddhatrayī 453), the twelfth century by Atrideva (ABI 424), the twelfth-thirteenth century by V. Śukla (I, 217), and the thirteenth century at the earliest by Bāpālāl Vaidya (1982: 615). 345 C. Vogel, IL 334. 346 NCC V, 257. 347 Ad Amarakoṣa, vanauṣadhivarga 50 and 146. 348 See P.V. Sharma's Intr. to ed. d, 8–14. 349 The NCC distinguishes three jyotiṣa authors of this name: (a) author of the Arghakāṇḍa and the Saṃvatsaraphala (NCC I, 377–378; IX, 75); (b) author of the Riṣṭasamuccaya (NCC IX, 75); (c) author of the Kālajñāna (NCC IV, 19; IX, 75). The Durgadeva who wrote the Kālajñāna may be identical with the author of the Riṣṭasamuccaya, because some MSS of the latter work are recorded under the title of Kālajñāna (see Gopani's Introduction to the ed. of the Riṣṭasamuccaya, 1). According to D. Pingree (CESS A 3, 113–114) the author of the Saṃvatsaraphala is different from the Durgadeva who wrote the Riṣṭasamuccaya and Arghakāṇḍa. 350 H.V. Velankar (1944): 332. The Riṣṭasamuccaya was critically edited, with an exhaustive introduction, English translation, Sanskrit chāyā, notes, appendix, indices, etc., by A.S. Gopani, Singhi Jain Series 21, Bombay 1945; reviewed in ABORI 27, 1946 and PO 11, 1946, 72. 351 See A.S. Gopani's Introduction to the edition on relevant material on prognostication by means of (a)riṣṭas as found in the Bṛhatsaṃhitā, Carakasaṃhitā, Śambhunātha's Kālajñāna, Kāśyapasaṃhitā, Mahābhārata, Matsyapurāṇa, Suśrutasaṃhitā, Vāyupurāṇa, Yogaratnākara, Hemacandra's Yogaśāstra, and some other works. Compare on ariṣṭas: Indriyasthāna of the Carakasaṃhitā (with references). See also: L. Gopal (1989a). 352 CC: not recorded. The Maraṇakaṇḍiyā is referred to at Riṣṭasamuccaya 16 and 139. See on the relationship between the two works: A.S. Gopani's Intr. to the edition, 12–14. 353 The author mentions his name as Duggaeva at 255. 354 Riṣṭasamuccaya 254. 355 Mentioned at 261. Identified as Kumbher near Bharatpur; see D. Pingree, CESS A 3, 113–114; Intr. to the edition, 5–8 and 12–14. 356 NCC II, 154; III, 71. Check-list Nr. 116: reference to Cat. Mysore, but the MSS recorded there (Nrs. 41357–59) contain the Bheṣajakalpa of Bharadvāja. 357 NCC II, 154. P. Hymavathi (1993): 59. Rao Bahadur R. Narasimhachar (1916): 22. 358 NCC I, 414. 359 Narasimhachar (1916): 22. See on this work: NCC I, 406. The sixteenth-century medical author Śrīśailanātha mentions in his Praśnottaramālā that an ancestor of his, called Ekāmranātha, wrote a compendium of the Āyurvedasudhānidhi at the request of Sāyaṇa (Narasimhachar, 1916: 22.). 360 NCC III, 71; XIII, 114. Elsewhere (NCC II, 154), Śrīśailanātha is said to be the son of Ekāmranātha. 361 NCC V, 200 and 309. Edition: Gaṅgādhara's Gandhasāra and an unknown author's Gandhavāda (with Marathi commentary), edited by Ramkrishna Tuljaram Vyas, Gaekwad's Oriental Series No. 173, Oriental Institute, Vadodara 1989. This edition is based on the unique BORI MS of the Raddi collection; it is accompanied by a long Introduction (74 pages) on Indian cosmetics and perfumery, written by the editor, and twelve Appendices, containing extracts from other texts on the subject of gandhayukti: Suśrutasaṃhitā, Nāvanītaka, Bṛhatsaṃhitā, Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa (see also P.K. Gode, 1946k), Agnipurāṇa (see also P.K. Gode, 1945d), Kālikāpurāṇa, Someśvara’s Mānasollāsa, Govindadāsa’s Bhaiṣajyaratnāvalī, Nāgarasarvasva, Mādhava’s Āyurvedaprakāśa, Amarakoṣa, and Nityanātha’s Rasaratnākara. See also Vyas’s Introduction, 32–35, on perfumery in the Śārṅgadharapaddhati; A.M. Shastri (1969): 237–244; Satyaprakāś (1960): 802–822. Gandhayukti is moreover a subject dealt with in the Haramekhalā and in the chapters on vātavyādhi of a number of texts, for example Ṭoḍara’s Āyurvedasaukhya.
