712 Called ekanāyaka in Malayāḷam acc. to Sukhadeva (see M. Abdul Kareem, 1997, Nr. 1425; Suranad Kunjan Pillai, 1970: II, 1132: Salacia reticulata Wight). WIRM IX, 169: the Sanskrit name of S. reticulata is also ekanāyaka. Vairī is the same as mehāri according to P.V. Sharma (1997). 713 Called vāṭaṅkolli in Malayāḷam acc. to Sukhadeva (see M. Gundert, 1970: II, 931: Justicia gendarussa Burm.f. = Gendarussa vulgaris Nees). 714 The names yakṣadṛś, yakṣākṣī, yakṣalocana, and yakṣanetra may be synonyms of kuberākṣī (Kubera is the lord of the yakṣas), identified as Caesalpinia bonduc (Linn.) Roxb. and Stereospermum chelonoides (Linn.f.) DC. = S. suaveolens (Roxb.) DC. (see on the nomenclature: S.S.R. Bennet, 1987) (see M. Abdul Kareem, 1997, Nrs. 281 and 1535). 715 See also AVI 301 on some special features of Kālidāsa’s therapy. 716 NCC IV, 70; IX, 298. The title of this work is found in the colophon, but the name of the author is nowhere mentioned. See for the editions those of the Vaidyamanoramā. A Dhāraṇakalpa by anyonymous author has been *edited, with a Hindi translation, by Paṇḍit Jagannātha Prasāda Śukla, Sudhānidhi Granthāvalī 1, Prayāg 1924/25. 717 See on dhāraṇakalpa: H.Ś. Kasture (1970): 648–653; N.S. Mooss (1983): 106–114; R.H. Singh (1992): 137–144. 718 Its identity is unknown. Ḍolāphala is a synonym of madhūka, identified as Madhuca indica J.F. Gmel. and M. longifolia (Koenig) Mach. (see WIRM VI, 207 on the nomenclature) (Aṣṭāṅgahṛdaya 26; Ṣaḍrasanighaṇṭu 1.23). 719 Some are of the opinion that the author Kālidāsa is the same as the famous poet of the same name (see, e.g., J. Indu, 1981). See about apocryphal works attributed to the poet Kālidāsa: S.C. Banerji (1975). 720 P.V. Sharma (AVI 301) assigns him to the thirteenth century or somewhat later on account of the presence of diseases like somaroga and śayyāmūtra, drugs like opium and kāraskara, and the Tantric elements in the therapy. 721 NCC: an author called Kalyāṇadāsa is not recorded; the NCC ascribes the Śabdaratnadīpa (III, 256), as well as a Bālacikitsā (III, 256), to Kalyāṇamalla; compare Kalyāṇa’s Bālatantra. CC I, 106 and 491: Ratnapradīpanighaṇṭu by Kāśīrāma, son of Mathurādāsa; II, 194 and 228: Śabdaratnapradīpa by Kāśīrāma, son of Mathurādāsa. C. Vogel, IL 375–376: the work is often, but wrongly, claimed as written by Kāśīrāma at the instance of Kalyāṇadāsa. Compare Kāśīrāma, the author of a commentary on the Śārṅgadharasaṃhitā. 722 NCC III, 342; IX, 76. 723 NCC: not recorded. ABI 317: *published by the Veṅkaṭeśvar Press. Vṛddhatrayī 466: Kedārabhaṭṭa also wrote the Vṛttaratnākara and lived in the twelfth or thirteenth century. Compare Krishnamachariar (1989): 908: Kedārabhaṭṭa, author of the Vṛttaratnākara, is earlier than the fifteenth century. 724 CC I, 717; II, 171 and 234; III, 148. NCC V, 67–68. Check-list Nr. 804. STMI 98. Cat. BHU Nr. 250. Cat. Madras Nr. 13379. Cat. Mysore XIII, Nr. 42910. CBORI XVI, 1, Nrs. 310–312. Kavindrācāryasūcipatram, Nr. 1029 (Siddhamantranighaṇṭu, without author’s name).

Sharma’s Intr. to the Siddhamantra, 3); see on the editor, Pade: DGV IV, 304–305.
