1170 AVI 218–219. P.V. Sharma regards the use of the term jasada for the metal zinc (ad III.11.1 and 25–27ab) as supporting this date, because it became current in the fourteenth century; Srikanta Murthy (Intr. to his ed. and transl. of the Śārṅgadharasaṃhitā) also places him in the fourteenth century. Bāpālāl Vaidya (1982: 560) mentions A.D. 1277 as Ạḍhamalla’s date. 1171 See: Niścalakara. 1172 The text of the rasādiśodhanamāraṇa chapter has been taken from Śārṅgadharasaṃhitā II.11 and 12, that on sirāvyadha from III.12. 1173 See on the interpolated parts of the Ratnaprabhā: P.V. Sharma (1993): Introduction 52–79. 1174 NCC IV, 139; VI, 96. This commentary is sometimes referred to as Gūḍhārthadīpikā (CC I, 643). 1175 The NCC (IV, 139) erroneously records that Kāśīrāma wrote his commentary on the Cikitsāsthāna only. 1176 Paraśurāma’s bhūmikā to ed. cc, 8. Bāpālāl Vaidya (1982): 560. V. Śukla I, 140. Srikanta Murthy (edition and translation of the Śārṅgadharasaṃhitā) adds that Kāśīrāma lived at Salimabad and belonged to the Bhāradvāja Sārasvata sect. 1177 Bhāvaprakāśanighaṇṭu, dhātvādivarga 20, is quoted ad II.11.23cd–24. 1178 AVI 220–221; Atrideva also expressed the view that Jahāngīr must be intended (ABI 302). 1179 I.e., the Madanapālanighaṇṭu. 1180 P.V. Sharma places this work, without identifying it, in the fifteenth century (AVI 220); he probably regards it as the Kaiyadevanighaṇṭu. Kāśīrāma’s reference agrees with Kaiyadeva, dhātuvarga 20. 1181 Compare Vopadeva. 1182 Ad III.3.I. Kāśīrāma quotes Cikitsākalikā 68. 1183 Compare Śataślokī. 1184 Kāśīrāma may also quote (ad Śārṅgadhara I.3.6–9ab), without naming his source, from Rāvaṇa’s Nāḍīparīkṣā (verse 32) or Kaṇāda’s Nāḍīvijñāna (verse 50). 1185 Kāśīrāma’s notes on the identity of drugs have been collected by Bāpālāl Vaidya (1982: 560–569. 1186 Kāśīrāma, author of the Gūḍhārthadīpikā, is sometimes (NCC IV, 139) identified with Kāśīrāma of Mathurā, son of Mathurādāsa and grandson of Gurudāsa from the city of Argalā. This Kāśīrāma, who was a Sārasvata brāhmaṇa of the Bhāradvāja gotra and a renowned physician, was the teacher of Kalyāṇadāsa, son of Nāmadeva and grandson of Lakṣmīdhara, who resided at Bahādurapura during the reign of Yādava Tulasīdāsa, son of Gopāla. Kalyāṇadāsa wrote, on the suggestion of Kāśīrāma, the Śabdaratnapradīpa or Ratnapradīpanighaṇṭu, a homonymic lexicon that is often (as in the NCC) claimed as a work by Kāśīrāma, written at the instance of Kalyāṇadāsa (C. Vogel, IL 375–376). Since the Śabdaratnapradīpa may have been composed towards the end of the thirteenth century (C. Vogel, IL 375–376), the Kāśīrāma who was the teacher of Kalyāṇadāsa lived considerably earlier than the author of the commentary on the Śārṅgadharasaṃhitā. 1187 See: Kāśīnātha. CC I, 104. STMI 96–97. ABI 319. Vṛddhatrayī 468: the commentator Kāśīrāma is called Kāśīnātha Dvivedin and credited with the Ajīrṇamañjarī, Cikitsākramakalpavalī, Kāśīnāthī, and Rasakalpalatā. 1188 NCC IV, 139. Cat. BORI XVI, 1, Nr. 290. The Check-list (Nr. 948) mentions two more MSS. 1189 CC I, 530 and 643. ABI 319. Vṛddhatrayī 469. See also Rudrabhaṭṭa’s commentary on Lolimbarāja’s Vaidyajīvana.
