karka Trin. ex Steud. (see M. Abdul Kareem, 1997, Nr. 1268). 1361 Unidentified by the editors. A synonym of uśīra according to the *Ṣaḍrasanighaṇṭu* (4.15). Compare M. Abdul Kareem (1997), Nr. 1684. Many more identifications of vīra are recorded (see M. Abdul Kareem, 1997, Nrs. 37, 110, 212, 339, 508, 572, 1348, 1351, 1605). 1362 See the colophon at the end of the work (vol. II, 13); BDHM 3, 3, 1965, 153; Kane I.2, 912. 1363 This is stated in the introductory verses (see Kane I.2, 909, n.1368); moreover, each chapter of the *Āyurvedasaukhya* begins with a prayer to Kṛṣṇa for the welfare of Toḍaramalla. 1364 NCC VIII, 3; *Dr.P.L. Vaidya in the Intr. to his ed. of the Sarga- and Avatārasaukhya (see Kane I.2, 912). Bhagwan Dash and Lalitesh Kashyap are of the opinion that Nārāyaṇa Bhaṭṭa was perhaps the chief editor (vol. II, 12). 1365 Kane, I.2, 913. See on Nārāyaṇa Bhaṭṭa, the most famous member of the Bhaṭṭa family of Benares: Kane, I.2, 903–907. 1366 Kane, I.2, 913. According to the NCC (VIII, 3–5) the *Vivāhasaukhya* was also compiled by Nīlakaṇṭha. See on Nīlakaṇṭha: CESS A 3, 177; Kane, I.2, 911; M.M. Patkar (1938a): 167. Patkar was of the opinion that the whole *Toḍarānanda* was composed by Nīlakaṇṭha; the same opinion was expressed by S.R. Sharma (1977: 155–156). 1367 The author of the commentary on the *Nidānasthāna* of the *Aṣṭāngahṛdayasaṃhitā* is called Toḍaramallavaidya Kānhaprabhu, son of Beimdevaprabhu and Sāmāmbikā (NCC VIII, 3; Cat. München, Nr. 373). 1368 See on zamīndār: Hobson-Jobson (s.v. zemindar). 1369 Vol. I, Preface 9; vol. II, 7–9. See also NCC VIII, 3; BDHM 3, 3, 1965, 154–155; Kane I.2, 908 and 911; Dr.P.L. Vaidya's Intr. (17–31) to his ed. of the *Sarga-* and *Avatārasaukhya*. See on Toḍaramalla's career: CESS A 3, 77–78. 1370 NCC VIII, 3. Kane I.2, 909. 1371 The author of the *Prayogaratnākara*. 1372 NCC: Trilocana Kavicandra is not recorded. ABI 321. Vṛddhatrayī 472. 1373 Th. Aufrecht also ascribes a *Rasapradīpa* (CC I, 495 and 613) and a *Vaidyamahodadhi* (CC I, 612 and 613) to Vaidyarāja. 1374 Cat. München Nr. 284, dating from about A.D. 1780. The CC mentions only an anonymous work of this title (I, 496). 1375 See Cat. Berlin. 1376 CC II, 146 and 173; also recorded under the title *Rasakaṣāya*: CC I, 494 and 613 (see Cat. IO Nr. 2679). STMI 239–240. Cat. IO Nr. 2679: dating from 1806. F.R. Dietz (1833): 135. The title is mentioned at the beginning and end of the work. 1377 NCC VI, 150. 1378 CC II, 170: not known from other sources. 1379 See Cat. IO Nr. 2679. 1380 See Cat. IO. Th. Aufrecht (Cat. München and CC II, 146) and STMI prefer the former date; Cat. IO and J. Jolly (1901: 2; C.G. Kashikar 2–3) are non-committal. 1381 The NCC (VII, 125) only records the *Jagatsundarīprayogamālā* of Hariṣeṇapaṇḍita, which is a different work (see H.D. Velankar, 1944: 129). See on the MSS: H.D. Velankar (1944): 129. *Edited by K.L. (or S.K.) Kotecā, published at Dhūliyā. 1382 H.D. Velankar (1944: 128–129) describes it as an encyclopaedic work on medicinal formulae, spells, amulets, and kindred matter.
