359 The author of the Amarakoṣa. 360 See NCC I, 332. An Amaracandra was the author of the Ekākṣaranāmamālikā. See C. Vogel, IL 369. The Intr. to the ed. (15) mentions a second Amaracandra (see NCC I, 332–333), who is probably the one referred to in the Śivaprakāśa because the quotations are literary in character and not from a lexicon. 361 NCC I, 335: Amarādatta and Amarācārya wrote a lexicon called Amaramālā. Quoted by lexical commentators (Intr. to the ed., 15). See, for example, Bhānujiḍīkṣita’s commentary on the Amarakoṣa. 362 Unidentified. 363 Written by Mahākṣapaṇaka. See the Intr. to the ed., 14–15; C. Vogel, IL 319–320. 364 NCC II, 211: a poem attributed to Kulaśekhara. 365 See the Intr. to the ed., 13: Aśokamalla has a work named Nighaṇṭusāra to his credit (NCC I, 433). 366 See the Intr. to the ed., 14: unidentified, unless it is the same as the Bhāvaguṇaratnamālā of Bhāvamiśra. 367 Bhāvamiśra’s work of this name; compare Bhāvaguṇanāmamālā. 368 The same as Vopadeva. 369 I.e., Cakrapāṇidatta. 370 See the Intr. to the ed., 13: Candra or Kavicandra is the author of the Cikitsāratnāvali, but Bhaṭṭoji Dīkṣita quotes a lexicographer named Candra. The quotation is not from Candranandana’s Madanādinighaṇṭu. Śivadatta is greatly indebted to Subhūticandra, a commentator on the Amarakoṣa, quoted by him as Subhūti. 371 The quotation in the commentary to 231 may be from Candranandana’s Madanādinighaṇṭu; the quotation to 340 is indeed from that work (= Madanādinighaṇṭu 24.11). 372 NCC VIII, 322: probably the same as the Damayantīkathā of Trivikrama. See the Intr. to the ed., 17: probably the Nalacampū of Trivikramabhaṭṭa. 373 Compare: Authorities mentioned in the Carakasaṃhitā. 374 Most of the quotations are from Dhanvantarīyanighaṇṭu. 375 The single quotation, mentioning Gālava and Ātreya, does not occur in the Dhanvantarīyanighaṇṭu. 376 Dharaṇidāsa’s Anekārthasāra. See C. Vogel, IL 326–327; Zachariae (1897): 26. 377 NCC IX, 247–248: two grammarians called Dharmadāsa are recorded. 378 See the Intr. to the ed., 15: the author of a lost koṣa that, judging from the quotations, may have been a botanical lexicon. 379 NCC IX, 209–210. A lexicon by Puruṣottamadeva. See C. Vogel, IL 333–334. 380 See the Intr. to the ed., 13–14. Compare: Authorities mentioned in the Carakasaṃhitā. 381 Specialists in gandhaśāstra, i.e., the art of making perfumes. 382 Cowherds. 383 See the Intr. to the ed., 13: a Guṇaratnamālā is ascribed to Bhāvamiśra and to Maṇirāma. 384 I.e., Hemacandra. 385 CC I, 753: a grammarian. See the Intr. to the ed., 16: Haṭṭacandra’s work has been published in the Trivandrum Sanskrit Series. 386 Compare Haima. 387 A work by Vopadeva. 388 See the Intr. to the ed., 13: a writer on botany, quoted by Kṣīrasvāmin. Compare on a nighaṇṭu ascribed to him: Indu (see: commentaries on the works ascribed to Vāgbhaṭa).
