v4.c58.87

541 Though thirty-six or thirty-five (depending on the interpretation of the term pūrvapakṣavidhāna as one or two items; see on this point: A. Comba, 1994: 156) tantrayuktis are described in the Carakasaṃhitā, their number is said to be twenty-six in the text of Ca.Si.12.41ab. For that reason, some authorities amend the reading ṣaḍviṃśatā to ṣaṭtriṃśatā. One ed. (Jīvānanda 1896) reads pañcatriṃśat (see Kane I.1, 216).
