Naudou (1968): 200 and 216. Compare ed. f, 40–41. 481 He lived from A.D. 1290 to 1364 according to D. Seyfort Ruegg (1966: 3). 482 Edited by Lokesh Chandra (1971a): 613–632; Tibetan title: Gso-ba rig-paḥi man-ṅag sbyor-ba brgya-paḥi mchan. See on Bu-ston’s medical knowledge C. Vogel (1963): 290–295. Vogel says (292) that Bu-ston himself was the author of a medical treatise (compare G. Tucci, 1949: I, 106). 483 See on Kucā and its history, for example: Ch. Eliot (1988): III, 202–205; J. Filliozat (1948): 8–9, 19–20; H.W. Haussig (1983; see index); P. Hopkirk (1984; see index); *S. Lévi (1913); A. Stein (1971; see index). See on other fragmentary medical texts in Tocharian B: J. Filliozat (1948): 49–88; A.F.R. Hoernle (1902). 484 J. Filliozat was of the opinion (L. Renou and J. Filliozat, 1953: 158) that the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdaya quotes the Yogaśataka, although he did not adduce arguments proving that the reverse process can be excluded; H.H.M. Schmidt (ed. f, 13) tends to adopt the same view without being sure in its matter. Verses common to Yogaśataka and Aṣṭāṅgahṛdaya are: 22 = A.h. Ci.14.38 (absent from the Saṃgraha); 72 = U.5.18 (= A.S.U.8.21); 73 = U.5.19 (= A.s. U.8.22–23); 74 = U.5.20 (= A.s.U.8.24–27); 80 = U.39.159 (absent from the Saṃgraha); 90 = U.40.49 (absent from the Saṃgraha). See on the relationship between the Aṣṭāṅgasaṃhitā and Yogaśataka: Vāgbhaṭa (the author of the Yogaśataka may have borrowed from the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā). 485 Yogaśataka 9 = Ca.Ci.6.40; 23 = Ca.Ci.26.20. 486 See on him: J. Takakusu (1966): 128. 487 See on this subject: Vāgbhaṭa. 488 J. Filliozat (1948): 32–34; J. Filliozat in L. Renou and J. Filliozat (1953): 157. 489 Ed. g, XVIII–XIX. 490 Ed. g, IV–XIX. 491 See on I-ching’s knowledge of Indian medicine: Vāgbhaṭa. 492 An example is Bu-ston (see E. Obermiller, 1986: 126). The only exception is Niścalakara, who often quotes from Nāgārjuna’s Yogaśataka and never mentions Vararuci in connection with this work. 493 P.V. Sharma was in error when he distinguished Nāgārjuna’s Yogaśataka from that by Vararuci. He regarded the former as probably written by the Nāgārjuna mentioned by al-Bīrūnī and living in the eighth–ninth century, the latter as dating from the tenth century (AVI 178–179). Later, P.V. Sharma wrote that the Yogaśataka by Vararuci is identical with that by Nāgārjuna (Intr. to his edtion of Nāgārjuna’s Yogaratnamālā, 13). 494 See: Nāgārjuna. Chr. Lindtner (1982: 15) adduced some arguments in favour of attributing the Yogaśataka to the famous Buddhist philosopher Nāgārjuna. 495 Two parts from another medical text associated with Vararuci, the Vararucisaṃhitā, are extant, the Ariṣṭasthāna and Aṣṭakarmasthāna (NCC I, 274 and 327; P. Cordier, 1903b: 335–336; Cat Tanjore Nr. 11006: vararuciya aṣṭakarmasthāna). An author called Vararuci wrote a commentary, called Abhidhānacintāmaṇi, on Śrīkaṇṭhadāsa’s Yogaśataka (ABI 315). Compare on Vararuci: S.C. Banerji’s edition of the Saduktikarṇāmṛta (1965:
