Hāldār held the view that the Aśvinikumārasaṃhitā was composed by an author called Aśvinikumāra, Nityanātha, or Siddhanātha, who also wrote the Rasaratnākara, Rasaratnamālā, Kāmaratna, Yogasāra, etc. (Vṛddhatrayī 468). 67 See on a number of these formulae: HIM I, 149–177. The Aśvins are also designated as the Dasras (see, e.g., Bṛhadyogatarangiṇī 103.87–90: dādimādyaghrta, and 147.381–383: mahāsugandhaitaila), Kumārakas (see, e.g., Bhāratabhaiṣajyaratnākara Nr. 6159: romavedharasa), Nāsatya (see, e.g., Bhāratabhaiṣajyaratnākara Nr. 5597: māṇikyatilakarasa), Sahasrakaraputrabhaiṣagvaras (see, e.g., Yogaratnākara 372: bhārṅgīharītakayavaleha; compare Yogatarangiṇī 30.3–5: the same formula, expounded by the two Bhiṣagvaras to Indra), and Vaidyakumārakas (see, e.g., Rasakāmadhenu IV.1.261–263: romavedharasa).
