06), as indicated by the author himself at the end of his work (V.P.P. Śāstrī, 1984: 393, n.15; JAI 120). STMI (91) also dates it to 1605 (on the authority of S.R. Sharma, 1977: 157). The NCC (VII, 186 and 378) assigns the work to the year 1705; it adds that the *Jvaraparājaya* is quoted in the *Jvaratimirabhāskara*, which is improbable because the latter work (by Cāmuṇḍa) was completed in A.D. 1490 or 1492; moreover, a quotation from the *Jvaraparājaya* cannot be traced in the *Jvaratimirabhāskara*. D. Pingree (CESS A 3, 61) states that the floruit of Jayaratna was about A.D. 1725. Bhagvat Sinh Jee ((1927: 210) and P.V. Sharma (AVI 318) assign Jayaravi's *Jvaraparājaya* to the year A.D. 1794. 93 NCC I, 87–88 and 350; IV, 128 and 138. The author is called Kāśinātha (Cat. BHU Nr. 3; CBORI XVI, 1, Nrs. 1–3 and 10), Kāśirāja (Cat. BHU Nr.1; ed. c, verses 49 and 60), or Kāśirāma. Compare Check-list Nr. 10; STMI 16 and 96; Cat. BHU Nrs. 1–3; Cat. Bikaner Nr. 1375 (Nrs. 1373–74 contain the same work without mention of the name of the author); Cat. Puṇyavijayaji II, Nrs. 6423–6429; CBORI XVI, 1, Nrs. 1–3 and 10; R. Mitra's Notices VIII, Nr. 2683; VOHD II, 7 (Nr. 2898) and 8 (Nr. 3550); Bodleian d.742(6): two MSS of Kāśirāja's *Ajīrṇamañjarī*, one of which dates from 1618 (see D. Wujastyk, 1990: 91); Wellcome α273: Kāśirāja's *Amṛtamañjarī*. The author himself calls the work *Amṛtamañjarī* (last verse). Some MSS (Cat. BHU Nrs. 1 and 3; Cat. Puṇyavijayaji II, Nrs. 6427–29) and Atrideva (ABI 313) call it *Ajīrṇamañjarī*. The *Jīrṇāmṛtamañjarī* by Kāśirāja (Kāśinātha), with a commentary by Rāma Janaka Bhāgavata, recorded in the NCC (VII, 283), is undoubtedly the same work as Kāśinātha's *Ajīrṇamañjarī*. Editions: *a Veṅkateśvar Press, Bombay 1911. *b with the *Subodhinī* Sanskrit commentary by Rājānaka Bhāgavata and a Hindī commentary (*Bhāṣāṭīlaka*) by Śrī Rāmcaraṇdās Ācārya, Vindhyeśvarī Press, Mirzapur 1868/69. c in the *Nighaṇṭuratnākara*, Vol. I, ed. by K.R. Navre, Bombay 1936, 583–588. References are to ed. c. 94 The verses are not numbered in ed. c. 95 See Su.Sū.46.499. The *Mādhavanidāna* distinguishes six varieties (6.5–6). 96 These two verses represent the views of two different authorities. 97 E.g., vamana, virecana, nasya, kavala. 98 This may be *śukta*. 99 CC: Rājānaka Bhāgavata is not recorded. Rājānaka's commentary, called *Subodhinī*, has been edited (see ed. b). See Cat. BHU Nr. 1: the MS dates from 1826/27; the author probably originated from Kaśmīr. The Check-list records an anonymous commentary called *Subodhinī* (Nr. 10). 100 STMI 177: the same author wrote commentaries on the *Arkaprakāśa*, *Sūtrasthāna* of the *Aṣṭāngahṛdayasaṃhitā*, *Mādhavanidāna*, *Rasamañjarī*, *Rasendracintāmaṇi*, Vamśīdhara's *Vaidyamanotsava*, and Śaṃkara's *Vaidyavinoda*, which establishes that he lived after the close of the seventeenth century. See the texts mentioned. 101 Cat. Bikaner Nr. 1374: this is a commentary in Hindī; the MS dates from 1694/95. A commentary in Nepālī is also known (STMI 96). Cat. Puṇyavijayaji (II, Nrs. 6427–29) records commentaries called *vṛtti* and *stabaka*. 102 Bodleian d.742(6) (see D. Wujastyk, 1990: 91). 103 STMI 96 104 Cat. Bikaner Nr. 1374. Momin Ali (1990: 153) assigns the *Ajīrṇamañjarī* to A.D. 1811.
