v4.c60.8.1

1 See the quotations (in Sanskrit) in G.P. Upadhyay (1997). 2 NCC: not recorded. Edition: Indian science of pulse (Bhāratīyanāḍīvijñāna), compiled in Sanskrit by Rajvaidya Kaviraj Prabhakar Chatterjee, M.A., Jyotirbhusan, Visagacharya, Principal, Calcutta College of Ayurveda, with English translation by the author, Calcutta 1934. References are to page numbers of the edition. 3 The only source indicated is Dattarāma's Nāḍīdarpaṇa; fourteen ślokas (30–43) are borrowed from it. 4 Bhūdharabhaṭṭa's Nāḍījñānadarpaṇa may also have been one of the author's sources, since some verses on pages 9–10 are identical with Nāḍījñānadarpaṇa 56–59 and most of the stanzas on page 22 with verses 50–53 of the same work. 5 See p.28. 6 Compare Nāḍījñānadarpaṇa 63–65. 7 This view was put forward by Dattarāma in his Nāḍīdarpaṇa. 8 Diseases included in this list are, e.g., yonivyāpad and (yoni)kanda (86), somaroga (87), masūrikā and romāntikā (88), plīhajvara (91), udañmeha (96), and vradhna (97). The longest list known to me of characteristics of the pulse in various diseases is found in a series of articles by Ekendranath Ghosh in the Journal of Ayurveda 4 (1927–28), 453–460; 5 (1928–29), 13–20, 66–75, 340–347; 6 (1929–30), 104–111, 151–158, 166–176, 260–269, 334–340, 454–463; 7 (1930–31), 12–19, 50–60 (more articles belonging to this series were apparently published in earlier volumes of the Journal of Ayurveda). 9 CC: not recorded.
