1212 The same as polī (of unknown identity) according to the commentator. Rājīphala is identical with paṭola (Dhanvantarinighaṇṭu 1.49–50; compare M. Abdul Kareem, 1997, Nrs. 1642 and 1643). 1213 The same as ākārakarabha (128), ākulakarā or akarakarā (153), ākalakara or akarakara (164), according to the commentator. Tivra is also identified as Hyoscyamus niger Linn. and Ocimum tenuiflorum Linn. = O. sanctum Linn. (see on the valid name: V.V. Sivarajan and I. Balachandran, 1994: 485) (see M. Abdul Kareem, 1997, Nrs. 894 and 1192). 1214 The same as gopīsārivā according to the commentator. Gopīsārivā is a synonym of sārivā. 1215 It is called viṣabhṛṅgara (161) and ahiphena (164). 1216 He is sometimes called Rātulaśārṅgadhara (R. Mitra's Notices IX, Nr. 3059) or Śārṅgadhara Rātula (Collection Puṇyavijayajī Nr. 57). 1217 ABI 305. AVI 317. CBORI XVI, 1, Nr. 93. C.G. Kashikar (1977): 157. NCC VIII, 269. 1218 Vṛddhatrayī 468; G. Hāldār regards the authors of the Śārṅgadharasaṃhitā and Jvaratriśatī as one and the same person. 1219 AVI 317. 1220 ABI 305. 1221 The author and his work are called thus in the colophon of the printed text and of MS Nr. 93 of CBORI. The Check-list (Nr. 860) records the name of the commentator as Vallabhabhaṭṭa. A Jammu MS (*Nr. 3257) calls the author Meghabhaṭṭa, son of Kṛṣṇa (AVI 317, n.3; cf. CC I, 613 and II, 146, where a commentary on the Triśatī by Meghabhaṭṭa is mentioned). See also Cat. Bikaner Nr. 1446: Vaidyavallabhabhaṭṭikā by Meghabhaṭṭa on Śārṅgadhara's book about fevers (this commentary on the Triśatī appears to differ from Vallabhabhaṭṭa's work). The colophon of Cat. Mysore XIII, Nr. 42701 calls the author Vaidyavallabhabhaṭṭa Śrīmegha. The commentary is called Vaidyavallabhā or Dīpikā in Cat. BHU (Nrs. 63–65). 1222 It is called thus in the last colophon of MS Nr. 94 of CBORI XVI, 1. Aufrecht (CC II, 146) calls it Siddhāntacikitsā; the NCC (X, 83) refers to it as a Vivṛti (Siddhāntacandrikā). The Puṇyavijayajī collection (Nr. 58) contains a MS of the Triśatī with a Vṛtti. 1223 Sometimes referred to as Nārāyaṇabudha (Check-list Nr. 858). He was the brother of the author of the Nidānapradīpa, Nāganātha, who was the eldest son of Kṛṣṇabhaṭṭa. Nārāyaṇa also wrote the Jvaranirṇaya. G. Hāldār (Vṛddhatrayī 469) calls him Nārāyaṇadāsa Kavirāja, places him in the fourteenth-fifteenth century, and credits him with the Cikitsā- or Vaidyaparibhāṣā. 1224 NCC: not recorded. Check-list Nr. 859. This may be the same as Nārāyaṇa's commentary, because this author is sometimes referred to as Nārāyaṇadāsa (NCC X, 82). 1225 This may well be the Virasiṃhāvaloka, used by Śārṅgadhara according to Vallabhabhaṭṭa. 1226 Maheśvara's Viśvaprakāśa, composed in 1111/12 (C. Vogel, IL 329). 1227 Yādavaprakāśa's Vaijayantī, composed in the first half of the eleventh century (C. Vogel, IL 323). 1228 See the Intr. to his ed. of the Śivakoṣa and its commentary. 1229 CC I, 717: on jyotiṣa. CBORI XVI, 1, Nr. 314: Aufrecht is wrong in assigning this work to jyotiṣa; the MS dates from 1467/68. Cat. München Nr. 388 (a copy of the Poona MS). 1230 NCC: not recorded. See JAI 104–105; V.P.P Śāstrī (1984): 389. The last two leaves of a MS of the work, containing verses 1099–1123, have been preserved; Siṃha mentions that his father, Dhanarāja Śreṣṭhin, of Poravārjāti, was a minister of the ‘Alā-ud-Dīn Khaljī who ruled at Ranthambhor. Siṃha's reference to ‘Alā-ud-Dīn Khaljī throws doubt on Siṃha's date, since ‘Alā-ud-Dīn captured Ranthambhor in 1301. R. Bhaṭṇāgar (JAI 104–105)
