E.g., 27ab = Kaṇāda's Nāḍīvijñāna 106; 29ab = 102ab; 32 = 50; 52 = 92; 72 = 31; 73 = 41; 74 = 30; 75 = 34. Some verses are also found in the Śārṅgadharasaṃhitā: Rāvaṇa 7 = Śārṅga I.3.1; 20ab = 4ab. 131 See on the contents of Rāvaṇa's Nāḍīparīkṣā also S. Upadhyaya (1986): 75–86. 132 C. Dwarkanath (1991: 155) supposed that the author was the Siddhācārya Rāvaṇa, mentioned in the Ānandakanda (the name of this Rasasiddha is, however, Revaṇa), who, in his opinion, lived between the tenth and thirteenth centuries and belonged to the Nandi school of pulse specialists. See about other works attributed to Rāvaṇa: Kumāratantra. 133 The verses of Rāvaṇa which are already found in the Śārṅgadharasaṃhitā may point to a common tradition. 134 C. Dwarkanath placed the work in the twelfth century (1991: 43) or in the period between the tenth and thirteenth centuries (1991: 155).
