313 This difference is only apparent, since 2.14–15 of ed. a = 2.14 of ed. b, and 2.62–63 of ed. a = 2.61 of ed. b. 314 Edition b has one extra verse after 29 (= 29 of ed. a), twenty-four extra verses after 182 (= 181 of ed. a), and one extra verse after 393 (= 368 of ed. a). 315 See the verses following upon 1.11 and 1.6. 316 The author says that his treatise is helpful in acquiring dharma. 317 It contains about 150 prayogas according to prastāvikam kimcit of ed. b. 318 It contains more than one hundred ābhicākaprayogas (prastāvikam kimcit of ed. b). 319 It contains more than sixty prayogas (prastāvikam kimcit of ed. b). 320 The editors of a (Preface to Part II) and b (prastāvikam kimcit, 1) remark that its title is vidagdhadayita (compare 5.1: viaddhadaïa), but this term is also used by the author as a qualification of chapter three (3.71). Chapter five contains about 300 prayogas (prastāvikam kimcit, 1). 321 See on gandhaśāstra: P.K. Gode's articles in SICH I, 1–100; see also the descriptions of Gaṅgādhara's Gandhaśāstra and the anonymous Gandhavāda. 322 The commentator summarized the contents of 5.3–272 in some verses ad 5.273. 323 Compare on substitutes for rare fragrant substances, the extraction of essential oils, and related subjects: Rasaratnākara, Vādikhaṇḍa 19. 324 See prastāvikam kimcit, 1; it is said to contain more than 250 prayogas. 325 Prastāvikam kimcit, 1: it contains 125 prayogas. 326 Ad Amarakoṣa 2.4.101. Kṣīrasvāmin quotes the Haramekhalānighaṇṭu and says that the synonym aheru of śatāvarī is mentioned there; the quotation does not agree with the printed text of the Haramekhalānighaṇṭu, but the related synonym haherī occurs in it (p.83). 327 Ad Cakradatta, jvara 282; agnimāndya 3 and 11–12; śūla 56; kṣudraroga 52, 76–79, 81–82, 88, 98, 99, 121; mukharoga 96; vṛṣya 54 and 56. Niścala quotes the Haramekhalānighaṇṭu and says that the ṇṭu ad vṛṣya 54. P.V. Sharma's suggestion (1993: Intr. 30) that two distinct works called Haramekhalā once existed, one in Prakrit, written by Māhuka, and one in Sanskrit, from which Cakra borrowed a number of lines, is unfounded; Niścala's quotations are either in Prakrit or in a mixture of Sanskrit and Prakrit. The verses borrowed by Cakra (śūla 56; kṣudraroga 52, 80, 99, 121; mukharoga 96; vṛṣya 54 and 56; see Niścala) were without any doubt rendered into Sanskrit by him; it is a known fact that he adapted verses taken from other authors and versified passages in prose. 328 Rasendrakhaṇḍa, pāṇḍuroga 83–85. 329 According to P.V. Sharma (AVI 381); not traceable in Śivadāsasena's commentaries. 330 Ad Siddhayoga 57.84. 331 Ad Nighaṇṭuśeṣa 50ab. 332 Ratirahasya 14.1 and 41. 333 The Haramekhalagrantha is mentioned in the introductory verses of the Mantrakhaṇḍa. 334 D.Ch. Bhattacharyya (1947b): 151. 335 T. Goudriaan and S. Gupta (1981): 121. 336 CC: not recorded. 337 Ṭodara IX: 1.403 (the ratios of the ingredients in a medicated oil or ghee, prepared with a flower paste). 338 Compare, for example, Cakrapāṇidatta ad Ca.Ci.12.12: jhanajhaṇikā = harṣa. 339 Compare, e.g., Dalhaṇa ad Su.Ni.1.74: raṅghiṇī is the colloquial term for gṛdhrasī. 340 See also 4.260, 268, 271, 282, 290, 307, 309, 324, etc.
