21 See on Rtuparṇa and Nala: Mahābhārata, Vanaparvan 67 (ed. Poona). 22 Compare Mahābhārata, Vanaparvan 54.29–32; 64.3; 72 (ed. Poona). Some verses of the Pākadarpaṇa are taken from the Mahābhārata (with a number of variants): 1.2cd–3 = Vanaparvan 64.2cd–3; 6ab = 64.4ab; 10ab = 64.4cd. 23 These types, enumerated only, not defined, are bhakṣya, bhojya, lehya, coṣya, peya, and payogata. Classical āyurveda distinguishes four types: aśita, pīta, līḍha, and khādita (see, e.g., Ca.Sū.28.3). 24 These faults (1.39–56) are called aṣṭa (for example, a rice gruel in which a too large amount of liquid has been left), picchila (overcooked), aśuci (dirty), kvathita (for example, a rice dish containing a too small amount of rice and too much liquid), śuṣka (stale and desiccated), dagdha (burnt), virūpa (for example, a rice dish in which the grains have not been properly crushed), and nartuja (stale). 25 A dish made of rice, mudga beans and chicken. 26 A type of poison which originates from mixing disagreeing articles of diet. 27 These dishes are nowadays called dāl. 28 A temana is a sauce (MW). 29 Dishes with buttermilk as their chief ingredient. 30 Ad Ca.Sū.27.265–267 (a recipe for the preparation of madhuśīrṣaka; not found in the printed text). 31 Ad Su.Sū.46.376 (a recipe for a khaḍa; absent from the printed text), 396cd–397ab (Nala’s definition of a saṭṭaka, in an anonymous quotation) and 453 (the same quotation). 32 Nalanṛpati’s Sūdaśāstra is quoted ad Cakradatta, grahaṇī 60–61 (on svalpacukra) and agnimāndya 4 (on maṇḍa). Cakra borrowed grahaṇī 60–61 from Nala according to Niścala. The quotations are not found in the edited text. Compare Niścala’s quotations from the Sūdaśāstra. 33 Śīlāṅka’s Caüppaṇṇamahāpurisacariya (p.38) mentions Nala as an expert in sūyārasattha (sūpaśāstra) in a list of authorities on several branches of learning (compare A.K. Chatterjee, 1978: 286). 34 Ad Cakrapāṇi’s Dravyaguṇa, kṛtānnavarga 48 (a definition of rāgaṣāḍava, not traceable in the printed text). 35 Ṭoḍara III: 3.90 and 110 (on drinking water); 4.57–60 (Nala is referred to in a quotation from Videha on the preparation of peyā, yūṣa and rasa), 710 (on dāḍimīrasa), 1396–1397 (on the preparation of kaḍhī); IX: 1.207 (the preparation of māṃsarasa), 209 (the preparation of kṛta- and akṛtayūṣa), 333 (the preparation of uṣṇodaka). 36 Br̥hadyogatarangiṇī 16.5–7ab (on the preparation of bhakta; not traceable). 37 Siddhamantraprakāśa ad Siddhamantra 12cd–15ab (recipes for a khala and a kāmbalika; not occurring in the printed text). 38 See G. Wojtilla (1985): 114, (1999): 10. 39 Kṣemakutūhala 11.13–15ab (a recipe for a saṭṭaka; not traceable). 40 See K.T. Achaya (1994): 94: the Śivatattvaratnākara refers to drinking water cooled in a device made of pūgapatta (the bark of Areca catechu Linn.). 41 Cf. Amarakośa 9.2.44. See Om Prakash (1961): 209. 42 The related alasāndra (Su.Sū.46.35; also mentioned in the Bhojanakutūhala) has been identified as Vigna unguiculata (Linn.) Walp. = V. sinensis (Linn.) Savi ex Hassk. = V. cylindrica (Linn.) Skeels, in particular with V. unguiculata subsp. cylindrica (Linn.) Van Eseltine (see M. Abdul Kareem, 1997, Nr. 1701; compare WIRM X, 497–499).
