1228 See JAI 155. 1229 The tenth opening is called ūrdhvatālu (i.e., the anterior fontanel according to the translators). 1230 Some of these verses are also found in Vaṅgasena. 1231 A treatise on śakunaśāstra, written by Narapati in A.D. 1176. 1232 Compare Jvaratriśatī, -nirṇaya, -timirabhāskara, Parahitasamhitā, Bhāvaprakāśa, Yogaratnākara. See on abhinyāsa: G.J. Meulenbeld (1974): 103, 164–165, 169, 171, 192. 1233 Hāridraka has been taken from another series of saṃnipāta fevers. 1234 These critical periods, called maryādā, agree, sandhiga excepted, with Jvaranirṇaya 4.119–122. 1235 E.g., rugdāha, śītāṅga, kaṇṭhakubja, karṇika, bhugnanetra. 1236 Some descriptions are very close to those of the Parahitasamhitā. 1237 Phalgu is a variety of śītāṅga; pākala and phumphunaka are varieties of tandrika. 1238 Vaidārikaraṇa is also described in the Jvaratimirabhāskara. 1239 Described in Vaṅgasena (1.364–368) and Jvaranirṇaya (4.78). 1240 This raudrajvara differs from that of the same name in the Bhelasaṃhitā (Ci.2.8), where it is a form of quartan fever. 1241 Raudra- and māhendrajvara can get cured by religious means only; kāla- and gambhīrajvara are incurable. The kālajvara described in the Jvaratimirabhāskara (14.96–97ab) is different. Gambhīrajvara is known to the Suśrutasaṃhitā (U.39). 1242 Compare Haramekhalā 12.15 (jhiṇijhiṇikā), Rasaratnākara, vātavyādhicikitsā 32–33 (jhiṇjhinivāta), and Tantrasārasaṃgraha 15.58 (jhiṇikā). 1243 This disease is not known from other sources. 1244 See on jaratpitta Śārṅgadharasaṃhitā I.7.43cd–45a with the comments by Aḍhamalla and Kāśīrāma. 1245 See the references in the indices of the edition. 1246 Identified as Acacia arabica Willd. Compare P.V. Sharma (1997). 1247 Probably an error for ajamārī, a well-known drug in rasaśāstra. Compare, for example, Rasārṇava 5.12. 1248 Unidentified. 1249 Probably the same as amlāna, identified as Barleria acanthoides Vahl (see M. Abdul Kareem, 1997, Nr. 205). 1250 Unidentified, but it may be the same as cāṅgerī (see the commentary ad Rasapaddhati 24); amlapattrī is a synonym of cāṅgerī (P.V. Sharma, 1997) and also known as a divyauṣadhi. 1251 Said to be a variety of aśoka. 1252 Dalhaṇa (ad Su.Ka.1.68) reads bahupattrā instead of bahuputrā, and explains the former as a synonym of mayūraśikhā. 1253 Identified as Corchorus fascicularis Lam. By others regarded as identical with śatāvarī (see M. Abdul Kareem, 1997, Nr. 185). 1254 Unidentified by the editors. The same as the seed of palāśa according to the commentary ad Rasendrasārasaṃgraha 1.21. 1255 Identified as Clerodendrum serratum (Linn.) Moon. By others regarded as Morus australis Poir. (see M. Abdul Kareem, 1997, Nr. 1136). 1256 Unidentified. The editors interpret candramāṃsī as one item, but, since this is an unknown plant name, is may be preferable to read candra (= karpūra) and māṃsī. 1257 The same as guḍūcī (P.V. Sharma, 1997). Also identified as Psoralea corylifolia Linn. (see M. Abdul Kareem, 1997, Nr. 1360).
