559 Śāśvata’s Anekārthasamuccaya (see C. Vogel, IL 318–319). 560 Yādavaprakāśa’s Vaijayantī (see C. Vogel, IL 323–324). 561 CC II, 224; III, 117; NCC VII, 20: Varṇanighaṇṭu, by Cāmuṇḍa. Compare C. Vogel, IL 372 (on Varpakoṣas). 562 CC I, 586: a lexicon, perhaps the Viśvaprakāśa. Compare C. Vogel (IL 348–350) on Śrīdharasena’s Viśvalocana or Muktāvalī. 563 See CC I, 616 on this work of Vopadeva. 564 Variants of this name are Keyadeva (CC I, 125 and 319, II, 24; NCC V, 43; Cat. Berlin Nr. 1748; Cat. BHU Nrs. 87 and 88; Cat. IO Nr. 2748; Cat. Tanjore Nr. 11074; CBORI XVI, 1, Nr. 126; Śivadatta Miśra’s auto-commentary on the Śivakoṣa; STMI 526 and 656), Kayadeva (CBORI XVI, 1, Nrs. 126–127), Kayyadeva (Check-list Nrs. 512 and 558), Kaiyyadeva (C.G. Kashikar, 1977: 165), Kaiideva (Cat. IO Nr. 2748), and Kaideva (Bodleian d.713(2); see D. Wujastyk, 1990: 103). 565 NCC V, 42–43; X, 47. The Nāmaratnākara, which has not been preserved, was probably a synonymic lexicon. It was written before the Pathyāpathyavibodhaka, which appears to be an expanded version of it, adding the qualities and actions to the names of the medicinal substances. See the introductory verses of the Kaiyadevanighaṇṭu. Bāpālāl Vaidya (1982: 620–621) claimed, erroneously, that Nāmaratnākara was another name of Kaiyadeva, and Nāmasāgara the name of his earlier lexicon. 566 The title of the work is Pathyāpathyavibodhaka (see the introductory verses).

A Nāmasāgara by Keyadeva (NCC X, 49), as well as a Pathyāpathyanighaṇṭu by Devapaṇḍita (NCC IX, 112; XI, 95), may be identical with the Kaiyadevanighaṇṭu. The MS of a Saṃnipātakalikā by Kaideva (NCC: not recorded), forming part of the Chandra Shum Shere collection of the Bodleian library at Oxford, begins in exactly the same way as the Kaiyadevanighaṇṭu; this MS is shelved at d.713(2): see D. Wujastyk (1990): 103. 567 NCC V, 43; XIII, 76. Biśwanarayan Sastri (1960): 98. 568 NCC V, 42–43; XI, 95–96. Editions: *a Navalkiśor Press, Lucknow 1917. *b edited by Surendra Mohan, publ. by the Dayananda Ayurvedic College, Meharcand Lakṣmaṇdās, Lahore 1928 (one volume only, comprising the oṣadhivarga). *c edited by Nandakiśor Śāstrī, 1933/34. d Kaiyadevanighaṇṭu (Pathyāpathyavibodhakaḥ), edited and translated (into Hindī) by Priyavrata Sharma and Guru Prasada Sharma, Jaikrishnadas Ayurveda Series No. 30, Varanasi/Delhi 1979 (with a saṃskṛta-hindī-śabdānukramaṇī and an index of botanical and English names); this ed. is based on five MSS (Cat. BHU Nrs. 87–88, CBORI XVI, 1, Nr. 126, *MS Nr. 1/157/87063 of Sarasvatī Bhavan, Vārāṇasī, and *MS Nr. 931 of 1891–95 of the Adyar Library, Madras) and ed. b; reviewed by K.S.

570 At the end of the vihāravarga (292), Suśruta is quoted in an abridged form: amlena kecid vihaṭaḥ...tat tasmai hitam ucyate, ityantaḥ (suśrutāt) = Su.Sū.46.419–434; miśrakavarga 289 = Su.Sū.4.55; 290–292 = Su.Sū.4.50–51. 571 The Parāśarasmṛti is probably quoted ad vihāravarga 212. 572 P.K. Gode (1938a): 189. Rāghavabhaṭṭa quotes oṣadhivarga 1596ab and 1083cd (both with variants). See on Rāghababhaṭṭa: P.K. Gode (1936a), on Lakṣmaṇadeśika and his Śāradā- tilaka: CC I, 536 and 642; II, 152 and 229; III, 133, on Rāghavabhaṭṭa’s Padārthadarśa: CC I, 321, 499, 642; II, 152 and 220; III, 133; NCC XI, 114–115. 573 See: Kāśīrāma. 574 CC I, 128 (Kaideva on botany). Kamalākarabhaṭṭa’s Nirṇayasindhu was composed in 1612 (Kane I.2, 932; NCC III, 161) or 1616 (CC I, 80). 575 According to Aufrecht (CC I, 319; see also NCC XI, 95, and C. Vogel, IL 331), a Pathyā-pathyanighaṇṭu by Devapaṇḍita (probably Keyadeva Paṇḍita) is quoted by Jñānavimalagaṇi, pupil of Bhānumeru, who wrote the Śabdabhedaprakāśaṭīkā, a commentary on Maheśvara’s Śabdabhedaprakāśa, in 1598 (NCC VII, 337; C. Vogel, IL 331). Jñānavimalagaṇi refers to an unidentified Pathyāpathyābhidhasannighaṇṭu as one of his chief authorities in one of the introductory verses, but does not quote the work (see Maheśvara’s Śabdabhedaprakāśa with the commentary of Jñānavimalagaṇi, ed. by Auguste Kümmel, Leipzig 1940). 576 See K. Raghunathan and P.V.

Sharma (1967): 123–124: the Ma’din al-Shifā’ by Miyān Bhūwah is a Persian medical treatise composed in 1512 during the reign of Sikandar Shāh Lodī (1489–1517); its author mentions that he consulted the work of Kayedutt, who may be Kaiyadeva. See on this work and its author: M.Z. Siddīqī (1959): 96–108 (Siddīqī writes Gaya Dutta instead of Kayedutt and tentatively identifies him with Gayadāsa).
