1144 C. Dwarkanath (1991: 96) claims that a Nepalese MS of the Śārṅgadharasaṃhitā was completed in A.D. 1303. P. Hymavathi (1993: 63–64) places Śārṅgadhara in the second half of the fourteenth century, arguing that his father, Dāmodara, was the author of the Ārogyacintāmaṇi, and his grandfather, Viṣṇubhaṭṭa, was the guru of Mādhava Vidyāraṇya. A.C. Burnell (1880: 65–66) was the first to suggest, without arguments in favour, that the author of the Ārogyacintāmaṇi was perhaps the father of the author of the Śārṅgadharasaṃhitā. 1145 Cat. BHU (Nrs. 243 and 244) records an anonymous commentary. 1146 NCC II, 42; IX, 230: Dhamalla or Ḍhamalla, author of a commentary, called Prakāśa, on the Śārṅgadharasaṃhitā; the same as Ạḍhamalla? STMI 13–14. 1147 According to Paraśurāma Śāstrī (bhūmikā to ed. cc, 7), some are of the opinion that this indicates that Ạḍhamalla was a vaiśya. 1148 Paraśurāma Śāstrī (ed. cc) identifies him with the well-known Cakrapāṇidatta, which is untenable, because the latter belonged to the Lodhravalī branch of the Datta family. 1149 A medical author of the same name wrote the Vyādhividhvaṃsinī (AVI 315–316: *MS Jodhpur Nr. 2933); the Check-list (Nr. 1025) calls the author of this work Bhāvaśarman. 1150 Bāpālāl Vaidya (1982: 559) identified it as Hathakānta in the Āgrā district. 1151 I.e., the river Cambal in eastern Rājasthān. See on this river: ABI 302; AVI 218; N.N. Bhaṭṭācārya (1991: 105; N. Dey (1979): 48; Vettam Mani 178. 1152 It has been suggested that Ạḍhamalla belonged to the same region as Dalhaṇa, since the vernacular names of medicinal plants used by these authors are closely related (see Bāpālāl Vaidya, 1982: 371–372). 1153 C. Dwarkanath (1991: 96–97 and 196) assumes that Ạḍhamalla was a pupil of Śārṅgadhara himself. 1154 Two quotations; the first one is identical with Mādhavanidāna 44.1. 1155 See: Bhoja. 1156 See NCC IX, 180. Compare Guṇāvalī. 1157 Compare Dravyaguṇāvalī. 1158 Compare Cikitsākalikā 164–166; Cikitsākalikā 69 is quoted. 1159 See: Nimi. 1160 CC I, 593; II, 141. 1161 AVI 219. 1162 Ạḍhamalla may also quote, without referring to his source, from Rāvaṇa’s Nāḍīparīkṣā (3–4) ad Śārṅgadhara I.3.1. 1163 See especially the commentary ad I.7. 1164 See, for example, his remarks ad II.6.63cd–70ab and III.1.22. 1165 See, for example, Ạḍhamalla ad II.6.75–80; 7.70cd–81 and 82–83; III.1.22; 5.50; 7.10–14ab. 1166 See, for example, the commentary ad II.9.27–37. 1167 See, for example, the commentary ad II.2.117cd–118ab, 127–130, 137cd–143ab; 6.154–157; II.9.51–57. Ạḍhamalla’s notes on the identity of medicinal plants were collected by Bāpālāl Vaidya (1982: 561–569). 1168 Ad Śārṅgadharasaṃhitā II.12.4cd–13ab. 1169 The quotation from the Mādhavadravyaguṇa is of no avail in establishing Ạḍhamalla’s date, because that text may date from about A.D. 1100.
