39 See R. Krishnamurthy (1995): 239–240. 40 See R. Krishnamurthy (1995): 240. 41 See R. Krishnamurthy (1995): 240–243. 42 See R. Krishnamurthy (1995): 244–245. The names of one series of thirteen saṃnipāta fevers are enumerated (VI.21.125–126). 43 Groups dealt with are, for instance, the eraṇḍagaṇa and kākoligaṇa, gurupañcamūla and laghupañcamūla. Worthy of attention are the groups called phala-, pattra-, puṣpa-, mūla-, kanda-, bīja-, and sārasāra (VI.21.158–175ab). See R. Krishnamurthy (1995): 245–247. 44 See R. Krishnamurthy (1995): 248. 45 See R. Krishnamurthy (1995): 264–265. 46 The constitutions called prakṛti are named after the five mahābhūtas, not after the three doṣas, as usual in classical āyurvedic treatises. Doṣic prakṛtis are referred to in VI.12, where also the sattva typology is found (see R. Krishnamurthy, 1995: 356). 47 The preparation of mālinīvasantarasa is not described. These eight mahārasa(yoga)s are not mentioned in alchemical treatises, with the exception of sarveśvararasa, which is found in the Rasayogasāgara (śakārādi 361). 48 See R. Krishnamurthy (1995): 254. 49 See R. Krishnamurthy (1995): 259–260. Bhūnāga is not classified elsewhere as a mahārasa. 50 See R. Krishnamurthy (1995): 260–261. 51 The same as bodāraśṛṅgaka. 52 See R. Krishnamurthy (1995): 261–262. This series is unusual in incorporating añjana and omitting other items. 53 See R. Krishnamurthy (1995): 262. This series is unknown to me from alchemical works. 54 See R. Krishnamurthy (1995): 320–322. The lohakānta is an uncommon uparatna. 55 Compare the cīcī of Rasendracūḍāmaṇi 7.2. 56 A footnote to the edition compares this plant with another one called rasālajalavallarī; see, however, Rasendracūḍāmaṇi 7.2, which mentions rasā as a rasauṣadhi. 57 This list is a corrupt and incomplete version of Rasendracūḍāmaṇi 7.2–11. 58 See R. Krishnamurthy (1995): 267–269. 59 The garbha- (= garta-) and pratigarbhayantra, already described, are mentioned again. 60 See R. Krishnamurthy (1995): 269. 61 See R. Krishnamurthy (1995): 269–270. 62 Compare on the sources of the Śivatattvaratnākara: R. Krishnamurthy (1995): 66, 97, 125, 126, 146, 201, 202, 231, 302, 307, 353, 361, 362, 451, 497, 509, 535. 63 NCC VIII, 319: an authority on music. See Dattila: E. te Nijenhuis (1977). 64 NCC VI, 38: a work on music. 65 NCC: not recorded. Probably Nala's Pākadarpaṇa. 66 NCC V, 98–99: an authority on nāṭyaśāstra. See Kohala: E. te Nijenhuis (1977). 67 A treatise on architecture. 68 NCC III, 74–77: many works of this title are known. 69 NCC II, 317: a commentary on Varāhamihira's Bṛhatsaṃhitā by Yogin or Yogīśvara. 70 A treatise on śilpa (CC II, 138). 71 A Tantra (CC I, 594; Tāntrika Sāhitya 601). 72 Various authors of this name are recorded (NCC I, 354–355). 73 Also mentioned at VII.1.88.
