References are to ed. b. The title of the work is mentioned in the second verse, the name of the author only in the colophons. 664 Prose is found, e.g., at 6.9, 12, 17, 19–21, 19–21, 31, 33; 9.1; 16.26, 29, 36–38, 62, 125. 665 See 1.13; 2.6; 3.19; 6.9; 7.13 and 20; 8.7; 10.1 and 7; 11.12, 40, 42, 51–52, 60; 12.4; 13.8 and 10; 14.2, 5, 22; 16.54 and 116; 17.9; 19.43. 666 A few nidāna verses in chapters two and three were probably added to the text (these verses are not numbered) by Sukhadeva, who wrote the Hindī translation and commentary of ed. b, namely three verses at the beginning of chapter two (= Ca.Ci.4.6, 7, 9) and three at the beginning of chapter three (= Mādhavanidāna 11.1 and 12.1–2). 667 Two long formulae occur: yogarājaguggulu (16.129–135), identical with Gadanigraha, prayogakhaṇḍa, guṭikādhikāra 326–333 (and also quoted from a tantrāntara in Niścala's commentary ad Cakradatta, āmavāta 27–32), and a recipe, ascribed to the Aśvins, used to turn grey hair black again (16.92–96). 668 See, e.g., 1.21; 6.17; 11.36, 48, 49, 59, 61; 12.11 and 20–21; 13.4, 10, 13, 15, 49–51; 14.2, 6, 11, 12, 14–18, 24, 27; 16.45 and 89; 17.8; 19.29–31. 669 See 7.10 and 12; 11.19; 16.57. 670 The Cakradatta (jvaracikitsā 6) is quoted in a verse of chapter one, but this is probably an addition by Sukhadeva; the therapy of raktapitta (chapter two) is said to agree with Caraka (according to Sukhadeva), but the verses on this subject are not from Ca.Ci.5; one formula is ascribed to Nimi (16.57) and another one to the Aśvins (16.92–96); two definitions of rasāyana found at the beginning of chapter twenty and probably added by Sukhadeva were taken from Śārṅgadhara (I.4.13ab) and Caraka (Ci.11.5cd); five more verses at the beginning of the same chapter, amongst which a definition of vājīkaraṇa by Suśruta (Ci. 26.6) and two more from the Suśrutasaṃhitā (Ci.26.4–5), were probably also added by Sukhadeva. 671 A Vaidyamanoramā that may be identical with Kālidāsa's work is quoted in Nayanasukha's Vaidyamanotsava (CC I, 612); a Manoramā is quoted in Meghamuni's Meghavinoda (JAI 157). 672 This disease is also mentioned in Dāmodara's Ārogyacintāmaṇi. 673 Not found in other texts. 674 Absent from other texts; pravāhaṇa is the same as pravāhikā. 675 Bimbisī or bimbiśī is a synonym of pravāhikā. Cf. A.h.Ci.9.28; A.s.Ci.11.7–8; Candrakalā ad Vopadeva's Śataślokī 1.17. 676 It may be prickly heat, also called climactic hyperhidrosis or lichen tropicus. 677 These are distinguished from the parasites called kṛmi, and said to occur in hairy men who do not regularly shave. 678 Ulcers of the oral cavity. See on the term lūtā: Dāmodara's Ārogyacintāmaṇi. 679 An unidentified disease, not occurring elsewhere. 680 An ulcerous lesion of the penis. 681 Unidentified. 682 Sukhadeva remarks that it is called āviram in Malayāḷam (M. Gundert, 1970: I, 93: Cassia auriculata Linn. and Cassia occidentalis Linn.; Saranad Kunjan Pillai, 1970: II, 207: Cassia auriculata Linn.). P.V. Sharma (1997) regards ākulī as a synonym of āvartakī, identified as Cassia auriculata Linn. 683 Unidentified.
