See Tāntrika Sāhitya 504. 1606 The same as Tiṣaṭa; the quotation on p.7–9 = Cikitsākalikā 4–16; p.9–13 = Cikitsākalikā 18–41; p.13 = Cikitsākalikā 44–46. 1607 Sometimes considered to be the author of the Ātaṅkadarpaṇa on the Mādhavanidāna (STMI 244). 1608 To this list should be added, according to P.V. Sharma (AVI 295; compare Cat. BHU Nr. 178): Ātreya (see also Cat. IO Nr. 2684), Bhoja, Cakradatta, and Candraṭa; the NCC (VIII, 104) adds the Tantrottaratantra. 1609 See: Nidānadīpikā. 1610 See JAI 157: in Hindī, completed in 1761/62. 1611 AVI 295. J.

1615 Vṛddhatrayī 469: different from Vidyāpati’s work of the same name. Compare CC I, 256: nominally by Vīrasiṃha (Narasimhadevas), king of Mithilā, but in reality by Vidyāpati. NCC IX, 81: ascribed to Narasimhadevas, but actually composed in A.D. 1438 by Vidyāpati, patronized by him. 1616 CBORI XVI, 1, Nr. 239. Compare NCC II, 142. P. Cordier (1899b: 562) placed the work in the sixteenth century, which may be a slip of pen, because he claims that it was written by the king of Gwalior, Vīrasiṃha, who lived shortly after the invasion of Timūr. 1617 Verse 511. 1618 Verse 2 of ed. b and title of ed. a. The work is also called Pathyāpathyavibhaṅgu, -vicāra, and -vidhi (NCC XI, 95). STMI 258. Compare Check-list Nrs. 555, 559, 560, 561 (anonymous). Cat. BHU Nrs. 80 (Pathyāpathyaviniścaya; Viśvanātha’s text, but attributed to Śivadāsa), 81–86 (Pathyāpathyavidhi; anonymous, but the same as Viśvanātha’s work). Cat. Mysore Nr. 42025 (anonymous Pathyāpathyanirṇaya). CBORI XVI, 1, Nrs. 120: Pathyāpathyanighaṇṭu, 121 and 122: Pathyāpathyavicāra (these three MSS end with stanza 530; Nr. 122 begins in the same way as Viśvanātha’s work), 123 and 124: Pathyāpathyavidhi (these two MSS begin like Viśvanātha’s work and end with stanza 530), 125: Pathyāpathyaviniścaya (beginning like Viśvanātha's work and ending with stanza 530); all these MSS do not mention the author's name. 1619 NCC VII, 29. A commentary by Viśvanāṭapidatta on Cakrapāṇidatta's *Sarvasārasaṃgraha* is also recorded (ABI 319;

The name of the author is sometimes given as Viśvanāthasena (CC I, 585; NCC VII, 29; AVI 325; J. Jolly, 1901: 14; C.G. Kashikar 17). 1627 Tapana Mahāpātra was patronized by king Gajapati Pratāparudra (NCC VIII, 106).

1628 Narasimhasena according to Aufrecht (CC I, 585). See on Narasimhasena: P.K. Gode (1940d: 139 = SILH I, 274–275.) 1629 CC I, 585. AVI 325. Vṛddhatrayī 470. Atrideva (ABI 314, 319) calls the author Viśvanātha Kavirāja and regards him as identical with the author of the Sāhityadarpaṇa, who, however, was a son of Candraśekhara and grandson of Nārāyaṇa (CC I, 584; H.A. Mehendale and A.D. Pusalker, 1980: 485–486). G. Hāldār (Vṛddhatrayī 470) places him in the fourteenth or fifteenth century, and distinguishes him from another Viśvanātha, a brāhmaṇa from Orissa too, who lived in the thirteenth or fourteenth century and to whom the Sāhityadarpaṇa and Pathyāpathyanighaṇṭu are attributed (Vṛddhatrayī 467). 1630 See on him and his reign: A.K.
