465 See, e.g., 55, 59–60, 68, 121, 123, 130, 135, 136. 466 Vaidyāvatamsa 79 = Dhanvantariyanighaṇṭu 1.182. 467 Vaidyāvatamsa 91ab = Rājanighaṇṭu, śatāhvā 158cd; 159 = Rājanighaṇṭu, kṣīrādivarga 56. 468 See B. Tripāṭhī (1977): 225–226. 469 Mentioned at Su.Sū.46.256. Identified as Medicago sativa Linn. (P.V. Sharma, 1997) and Trigonella foenum-graecum Linn. (ed. d, phalaśākavarga 33ab). 470 The same as bhaṅgā (P.V. Sharma, 1997). 471 Bhāvaprakāśanighaṇṭu, dhānya 81: = śarabīja. 472 A kind of trapusa (P.V. Sharma, 1997). Identified as Cucurbita maxima Duchesne (the squash or red gourd) by Bāpālāl Vaidya (1968: 656–657). 473 The gum of Gardenia gummifera Linn.f. (see A. Anandakumar et al., 1984). 474 The same as dhāmārgava (see M. Abdul Kareem, 1997, Nr. 1044). 475 The same as pārasīkayavānī. 476 The same as saptaraṅgī, identified as Salacia chinensis Linn. (P.V. Sharma, 1997). 477 A variety of trapusa (P.V. Sharma, 1997). 478 Eleusine coracana Gaertn. (P.V. Sharma, 1997). 479 P.K. Gode (1941a: 91–92) regards the verses on tamākhū (59–65) as an interpolation, because there is no other evidence for the cultivation of tobacco in India from this early period, and because a BORI MS mentions that these verses have been taken from some other work. B. Tripāṭhī (1977: 200–202) disagrees with P.K. Gode, because in his opinion the tobacco plant is already described in the Rājanighaṇṭu as dhūmrapattrā (this identification is disputed). See on the introduction of the tobacco plant into India and the earliest sources referring to it: P.K. Gode (1955b); (1957a); (1958). See also DWH II, 632; Hobson-Jobson (s.v. tobacco); G. Watt V, 361–363; WIRM VII, 31. 480 The exudate of the tree tīkṣṇakaṇṭa, which may be the same as babbūla (see M. Abdul Kareem, 1997, Nr. 20). 481 Edited by B. Tripāṭhī, on the basis of a single MS, in his Lolimbarāja-granthāvali. See on this work: B. Tripāṭhī (1977): 140–143. The title is not mentioned in the work itself; the poet’s name occurs many times. 482 The Sanskrit names of the diseases mentioned have been listed by B. Tripāṭhī (1977): 142–143. 483 The Padyaveṇī (CC I, 603; NCC XI, 160: seventeenth century; S.N. Dasgupta and S.K. De, 1947: 415: probably seventeenth century, composed in 1644 (L. Sternbach 1974: 28), quotes seven verses from the Harivilāsakāvya (P.K. Gode, 1946i: 2–6). 484 CC: not recorded. This work quotes four verses from the Harivilāsakāvya; it probably dates from the end of the seventeenth century (see L. Sternbach, 1974: 38, note 204). 485 CC: not recorded. It is not known which of Lolimbarāja’s poems is quoted by Siddhacandra, who lived in the period 1588–1666 (see P.K. Gode, 1946i: 2–6). 486 See P.K. Gode (1941a): 87 and B. Tripāṭhī (1977): 14. 487 CC: not recorded. S.N. Dasgupta and S.K. De (1947): 679 and 772. M. Krishnamachariar (1989): 273. English translation: J. de Bruyne (1968). 488 J. de Bruyne (1968): XI. Krishnamachariar (1989): 273. B. Tripāṭhī (1977): 207–209. 489 Some MSS call Lolimbarāja (Cat. Mysore XIII, Nrs. 42635, 42640, 42645). P.K. Gode (1941a: 79 and 89) suggested that his real name may have been Tryambakarāja. P.K. Gode’s hypothesis (1941a: 79–96) that the Harivilāsakāvya was written by an earlier author of the name Lolimbarāja, different from the medical writer, has convincingly been refuted by B. Tripāṭhī (1977: 5–14).
