31 Some pākas and other preparations have been taken from the Rasaratnākara according to P.V. Sharma (1972a: 70). 32 The Śārṅgadharasaṃhitā is the major source of prakaraṇa seven; almost all the definitions of the series beginning with dīpana (6.12–237) are already found in the Śārṅgadharasaṃhitā (1.4) and in Vaṅgasena (dīpanapācanadravyalakṣaṇādhikāra). 33 See the saṃnipāta fevers in the section on special features of the Bhāvaprakāśa. 34 H.H.M. Schmidt indicates in his edition of the text that Yogaśataka 5, 7, 9, 14 (= cikitsā 37.11), 16 (= cikitsā 35.20), 17 (= cikitsā 29.36), 18 (= cikitsā 68.13), 31 (= cikitsā 6.35), 37 (= cikitsā 54.146), 56 (= cikitsā 66.146), and 76 (= cikitsā 71.152) are incorporated in the Bhāvaprakāśa. 35 Bāpālāl Vaidya (1982): 616. 36 This Mallinātha, different from the well-known commentator on works of Kālidāsa, etc., cannot be dated exactly; he lived between the beginning of the fourteenth and the seventeenth century (see A.A. Ramanathan, 1971: Intr. XLVI–XLVII). The Bhāvaprakāśa quoted need not be the medical work; several treatises of the same title are known. 37 See JAI 157: written in Hindī, completed in A.D. 1761/62. 38 This work is said to date from 1500–1510, which cannot be correct if Bhāvamiśra’s Bhāvaprakāśa is quoted in it. 39 Cat. BHU Nr. 251. 40 P.V. Sharma (1972a): 74; AVI 189. 41 See JAI 155. 42 Also quoted as Nighaṇṭu. 43 Quoted as Nighaṇṭu. 44 See the upodghāta to vol. II of ed. m. 45 See, e.g., cikitsā 1.447–448, 716 and 805; 21.2; 31.15. 46 The information on drugs has been collected by Bāpālāl Vaidya (1982, Appendix XIV). 47 See, e.g., cikitsā 5.63, 71–72 and 73–80; 8.30–34; 22.33. 48 E.g., cikitsā 61.15 (dāruṇaka = rūsī); 61.37 (vyaṅga = jhāīṃ); 61.71 (cippa = veḍavā); 61.118 (alasa = kandaī); 61.122 (dārī = bivāī); 61.132–133 (lakṣmaṇ = lāśuna); 61.151 (jālagardabha = agnivāta); 71.127–128 (kukuṇaka = kothuāha); 71.133–134 (pārigarbhika = ahīḍī). 49 AVI 194. S.K. Ramachandra Rao (1985): 39. 50 CC II, 93. STMI 91. 51 Compare the three āvartas of Suśruta (Śā.5.43). See on the nāḍīs of the female genitals: P. Tewari (1986): I, 6–9. 52 Usually six chief parts are mentioned: head, trunk, the two arms and the two legs. 53 Cf. A.s.Śā.12.5. See on the aṣṭamaṅgala: A. Wayman (1989). 54 See on the evil eye in India, for example: A.L. Basham (1978): 172; G.W. Briggs (1953): 392–395; J. De Cunha (1886–1889); J.A. Dubois (1947): 149–150, 228; J. Gonda (1970a): 3, 5, 59–60 (with references); O.P. Jaggi (1973): III, 64–65, 126–127, 185, 204; P.B. Joshi (1886–1889); S.L. Srivastava (1974): 267–268; P. Tivārī (1990): 465. 55 Usually four types are distinguished: asita, pīta, līḍha and khādita (Ca.Sū.28.3). 56 Many of these verses are also found, in a different order, in Vaṅgasena’s treatise. 57 These definitions are also found, in a slightly different order, in the Śārṅgadharasaṃhitā (1.4). 58 The sources of the verses on these subjects remain unknown; they have not been borrowed from Vaṅgasena; mukhaparīkṣā and the tailabindu method of mūtraparīkṣā are absent.
