References are to i.

v4.c61.5

A Gadāñjana ascribed to Agniveśa (NCC: not recorded; Check-list Nr. 285) may be the Añjananidāna; the same applies to an Agniveśanidāna by Agniveśa, with commentary (Check-list Nr. 9), and to a Nidānasthāna by Agniveśa (NCC X, 129; see Agniveśa). A Netrāñjana (Cat. Bikaner Nr. 1419) is identical with the Añjananidāna. Other titles of the Añjananidāna are Agniveśañjana (NCC: not recorded) and Nidānāñjana (NCC X, 129; Cat. BHU Nrs. 5 and 77).

v4.c61.6

⁴ The work has wrongly been described as a treatise on eye diseases (Cat. IO Nr. 2714; Bhagavat Sinh Jee, 1927: 207; Gulabkunverba I, 75; S.K. Ramachandra Rao, 1985: 16; G.P. Srivastava, 1954: 33). The title is explained in the first verse, where the treatise, simply called Añjana there, is said to have been composed by Agniveśa as a collyrium (añjana) for physicians whose eyes are covered by the darkness (timira; this term also denotes an eye disease causing cloudy vision) of ignorance. The title Añjana recurs in the last two stanzas.

v4.c61.7

⁵ Their number is 232 (nayanāladṛṇmita) according to the author himself. R. Mitra (Notices X, Nr. 4206) and STMI (14) mention a number of 333 stanzas.

v4.c61.8

⁶ P.V. Sharma remarks that the toṭaka and other more recent metres abound in the work (AVI 247).

v4.c61.9

7 Some verses of the Añjananidāna are identical with verses included in the Mādhavanidāna, which are either quoted from one of the classical āyurvedic works or from unknown sources: Añjananidāna 124 = Mādhavanidāna 27.1 (from an unknown source); 133 = 28.20 (from Su.); 134 = 29.2 (from Su.); 135cd = 29.7ab (from an unknown source); 144 = 33.1 (from Ca.); 166ab = 37.2cd (from Vāgbhaṭa); 172 = 41.4 (from an unknown source); 185 = 46.1 (from an unknown source); 207 = 51.2 (from an unknown source).

v4.c61.10

8 Examples are: agnimāndya, alasaka, vilambikā, halimaka, bhrama, nidrā, paramada, pānavibhrama, ūrustambha, annadravaśūla, ānāha, śūkadoṣa, koṭha, kṣudraroga, yonikanda, stanaroga, stanyaduṣṭi.

v4.c61.11

9 A ghaṭī is a period of twenty-four minutes.

v4.c61.12

10 This term may be a synonym of viṣa (see the Hindi translation); it is frequently used in this sense in the Tantrasārasaṃgraha.

v4.c61.13

11 Already mentioned, for example, by Vṛnda (Siddhayoga 5.57; 6.6), Cakrapāṇidatta (ad Su.Sū.35.24 and 40.10), Vijayarakṣita (ad Nidāna 6.2–4), and Śārṅgadhara (I.7.27ab).

v4.c61.14

12 Already mentioned by Vāgbhaṭa (A.h.Ni.15.27–28ab = A.s.Ni.15.29cd-30ab); also known to Vaṅgasena (āgantukavraṇa 25).

v4.c61.15

13 This is the same as kārśya, i.e., leanness.

v4.c61.16

14 The term kuraṇḍa, a synonym of kuraṇṭaka, occurs in the Cakradatta (vṛddhibradhnacikitsā 18), Haramekhalā (4.182 and 187–188), Rājamārtaṇḍa (17.1 and 5–7), Śārṅgadharasaṃhitā (III.11.104), Soḍhala’s Gadanigraha (kāya 35.51–58), Vaṅgasena (antravṛddhi 41–46), etc.; kuraṇḍa, as described in the Añjananidāna, is identical with Mādhava’s vṛddhi.

v4.c61.17

15 Vṛnda was the earliest author to describe vardhma (Siddhayoga 40.20–23).

v4.c61.18

16 NCC I, 89: dating from the nineteenth century. STMI 14.

v4.c61.19

17 NCC: not recorded. Bhagvat Sinh Jee (1927): 207. STMI 14.

v4.c61.20

18 NCC: not recorded. Check-list Nr. 244: Dīpikā by Gumana Rāma.

v4.c61.21

19 NCC VII, 170. STMI 14 and 91. HIM III, 526.

v4.c61.22

20 Bodleian d.733(5): author’s name not mentioned (see D. Wujastyk, 1990: 91–92). Cat. BHU Nrs. 5 and 6: Añjanaśalākā, by Tripāṭhiśamkara of Mahāraṅgakula; it quotes Amara, Caraka, Kharaṇāda, Vāgbhaṭa, etc.

v4.c61.23

21 Compare HIM III, 525–527; Gaṇanātha Sena (1924): I, 18.

v4.c61.24

22 Bodleian d.713(b) (see D. Wujastyk, 1990: 91).

v4.c61.25

23 Cat. IO Nr. 2714.

v4.c61.26

24 CBORI XVI, 1, Nr. 6.

v4.c61.27

25 Check-list Nr. 962: title Vaidyavinoda. STMI 17. Cat. Mysore Nr. 42525; Nrs. 42231–32, catalogued under the title Mahāvaidyaśāstra, contain Akalaṅkasvāmin’s Vidyāvinoda (see the colophons). AVI 315: title Vaidyavinoda. H.D. Velankar (1944): 356: Vidyāvinoda(vaidyaśāstra). A medical work edited as the Akalaṅkasaṃhitā is actually Vijaya’s Kalyāṇakāraka; another Akalaṅkasaṃhitā is also recorded. See on authors called Akalaṅka: CESS A 1, 35; A.K. Chatterjee (1978; see index); J.P. Jain (1964): 171–180; D.N. Lorenzen (1991): 26; NCC I, 3–7; S.Ch. Vidyabhusana (1971): 185–186. The Akalaṅka of the Vidyāvinoda is distinct from the Jain logician of that name (about A.D. 625–675), because he refers to Virasena (about A.D. 710–790), according to J.P. Jain (1964: 185–189). A.K. Chatterjee (1978: 328) places the logician Akalaṅka in the middle of the eighth century. Compare on this Akalaṅka and his date: A.K. Chatterjee (1978): 328–329; T.G. Kalghatgi (1975): 236; K.B. Pathak (1931–32).

v4.c61.28

26 NCC I, 163. Edition: Part I and II were edited by C.N. Narayanan Moose under the title: The Yogaratnasamuchaya, Sri Chithra Ayurveda Series Nos. V and VI, Trivandrum 1940 and 1942; Part III was edited by V.A. Ramaswami Sastri under the title: The Yogaratnasamuccaya of Anantakumāra, Trivandrum Sanskrit Series No. 152, Trivandrum 1947.

v4.c61.34

32 One prescription derives from Acyuta, the author of the Āyurvedasāra, who is also quoted by Niścala.

v4.c61.108

118 Anantakumāra cites a prescription borrowed by Candraṭa from the Mahodadhi. The latter work does not figure among Candraṭa's sources. A Mahodadhi by Śivanātha Yogin is a work on rasasāstra (AVI 468). 119 Two quotations on dravyaguṇa. 120 CC I, 432; II, 99: a work on architecture. A quotation on religious treatment. 121 See: Nāgārjuna. 122 See: Nāgārjuna. 123 The six quotations from this Nāmanīta cannot be traced in the Nāvanītaka that forms part of the Bower MS. 124 Several works of this title are known (NCC X, 161). Some verses on the treatment of poisoning are quoted. 125 About twenty quotations. This Nārāyaṇīya is Nārāyaṇa's Tantrasārasaṃgraha, since several quotations from the Nārāyaṇīya can be traced in that source: Yogaratnasamuccaya 9.1 = Tantrasārasaṃgraha 15.1; 10.163 = 15.56; 14.50 = 16.38; 18.86 = 15.41cd-42ab; 21.451 = 16.1; 21.506 = 16.5cd-6ab. 126 See: Parāśara. 127 About one hundred and ninety quotations from this work, which is probably Candraṭa's Suśrutapāṭhaśuddhi. 128 NCC: not recorded. One prescription is quoted. 129 NCC: not recorded. Seven prescriptions are borrowed from this treatise. 130 NCC XIII, 72: several works of this title are known; one of these works was written by Kavikaṇṭhahāra. One prescription has been borrowed from the Prayogaratnākara. 131 NCC XIII, 78. 132 NCC XIII, 73–74: several works of this title are known. One prescription is quoted. A Prayogasaṃgraha by Śivanandin is mentioned by Rājkumār Jain (1981: 89). 133 NCC XIII, 74–77: several works of this title are known. A Prayogasāra is also quoted by Pṛthvīmalla in his Śīsurakṣāratna and Kalyāṇa in his Bālatantra (CC I, 356; II, 79). Two MSS of a Prayogasāra dealing with garbhiṇībālacikitsā are recorded in the Check-list (Nr. 578), and one MS of a commentary on that text (Nr. 751: Sarvāṅgasundarī by Vāsudeva). Only one of Ananta's three quotations (20.217–218) is concerned with kaumārabhṛtya. 134 NCC XIII, 78. Ten quotations, mostly on the treatment of children's diseases. 135 This quotation (15.248) is traceable in Bhoja's Rājamārtaṇḍa (15.1). 136 See: Nimi. 137 CC: not recorded. A prescription is quoted. 138 A prescription. 139 CC: not recorded. The single citation from the Śacīmata (21.221–222: religious therapy, leading to an easy delivery) is said to derive from Candraṭa, though this text is not found in the lists of Candraṭa's sources. 140 Two quotations on the preparation of drugs and four prescriptions. See: Sahasrayoga. 141 Four prescriptions. Probably identical with the Sahasrayoga. 142 Four prescriptions. 143 A quotation on measures of length (7.50cd–52ab). 144 CC: not recorded. Two prescriptions are quoted, one of them (21.284) spoken by Bhārgava. 145 CC: not recorded. Thirteen prescriptions, one of them in prose. 146 Several treatises of this title are known (CC I, 714; II, 170–171 and 233; III, 147). Two prescriptions are quoted. Two medical texts of this name are recorded: (a) anonymous (Cat.

v4.c61.109

Tanjore Nr. 11146), (b) by Śivadāsa (CC II, 154). Anantakumāra may quote from the latter, since Śivadāsa was also the author of a Yogasārasamuccaya and a treatise of that title is among Ananta's sources. 147 CC: not recorded. Six prescriptions. 148 Probably the same as Śarvatrāta. Three prescriptions are quoted. 149 CC: not recorded. Four prescriptions; one of these (16.417–420) is also found in Bhojottara and Siddhayoga. 150 This is the Siddhasāra of Ravigupta (see the references in R.E. Emmerick's edition of that text). 151 This Siddhayoga appears to differ from Vṛnda's work because Ananta's quotations cannot be traced in the latter. 152 CC: not recorded. Three prescriptions. A MS of a Siddhayogasamuccaya is recorded in the Check-list (Nr. 819). 153 CC: not recorded. A prescription is quoted. 154 CC: not recorded. Quoted on dravyaguṇa: 8.472cd–473ab (common to Śikhāyoga and Hārīta) and 473cd. The Śikhāyoga is referred to as one of the twelve viṣatantras in Śrīkaṇṭha's Yogaratnāvali (T. Goudriaan and S. Gupta, 1981: 127). 155 CC: not recorded. The only quotation (29.395cd–404) proves that this work was written in the form of a dialogue between Śiva and Pārvatī. 156 CC: not recorded. An ardhaśloka on kṣāra and three prescriptions. Also quoted by Śrīdāsapaṇḍita in his commentary on the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdaya. 157 CC: not recorded. Three prescriptions. 158 See: Pākaśāstra texts. 159 Vāsudeva's Sarvāṅgasundarī commentary on the Prayogasāra? (see note on the Prayogasāra.). One of the quotations (between 8.971 and 972) is evidently from a commentary. The other three quotations are in verse and borrowed from some other treatise by the author of the Sundarī. 160 Eleven quotations on dravyaguṇa and treatment. A treatise of this title is cited in the Nirpayasindhu, Jyotiṣaratnasaṃgraha and Prayogapaddhati or Ratnāvalī (NCC II, 300). It was a Tantric work according to the commentary on Nārāyaṇa's Tantrasārasaṃgraha (ad 1.2). 161 See: Nimi. 162 See: Vaitaraṇa. 163 The Yogaśataka is quoted: 12.128 (= Yogaśataka 19); 14.144 (= 10); 16.415 (= 25); 18.387 (= 42); 20.436 (= 17); 21.444 (= 75); 24.401 (also found in the Amṛtaprabhīya; = 49); 24.428; 24.566 (= 59). 164 A gloss on a quotation from the Mahāpāṭhaśuddhi. 165 See: Harīścandra. 166 Two quotations; the formula of tāmradiguṭikā (14.224–240) derives ultimately from Videhādhipa. Compare Vṛddhahārīta. 167 See: Kāśyapa. 168 See: Kharaṇāda. 169 CC: not recorded. Three prescriptions. 170 See: Nimi. 171 CC: not recorded. A prescription (15.259–260), versified from the prose of the source. 172 It is not clear which texts are referred to under this abbreviation. 173 CC: not recorded. A prescription is quoted. A Yogaratnakaraṇḍa was no longer available to Gopāladāsa; see Gopāladāsa's Cikitsāmṛta.

174 See CC I, 478. Twelve prescriptions are borrowed from this treatise, which is also quoted by Niścala. 175 See CC I, 481. Fifty-six prescriptions are borrowed from the Yogāmṛta. 176 CC: not recorded. One prescription has been borrowed from this treatise. 177 One prescription has been borrowed from this work. Is this Bhavyadatta's Yogaratnākara, quoted by Niścala? A Yogaratnākara was also known to Gopāladāsa. Śrīkaṇṭha's Yogaratnāvalī may also have been Ananta's source. 178 CC I, 479; II, 112; III, 103: several works of this title are known. Two prescriptions are borrowed from the Yogasāra. A treatise of this name was composed by Dakṣa Śrīvaraṇa (Cat. BHU Nr. 150) and Śivadāsa (Cat. Sarasvati Bhavan XII, Nr. 44803; J. Filliozat, Liste Nr. 111). 179 CC I, 480; II, 112: several works of this title are known. One of these works was written by Gaṇapativyāsa; see NCC V, 247: Gaṇapativyāsa, son of Mahīdhara Vyāsa, author of Yoga(sāra)samuccaya or Vaidyakaśāstrasārasamgraha. Compare Check-list Nr. 1065. Two prescriptions are borrowed from the Yogasārasamuccaya. 180 Three quotations: 19.314; 19.315 (= Yogaśataka 13); 24.259 (also found in Bāhaṭa; = Yogaśataka 62). Compare Vararuci. 181 CC: not recorded. One prescription derives from the Yogasiddhi. 182 CC: not recorded. One passage in prose (on snehapāka) and nine prescriptions in verse; one of the latter (16.126) is also found in Bhoja. 183 See CC I, 480. Five prescriptions are quoted. 184 CC: not recorded. Eight prescriptions are quoted from the Yogayukti, which was also one of the sources of Candraṭa and Niścala. 185 Yogaratnasamuccaya 20.225. 186 Yogaratnasamuccaya 11.91; 20.277 (referred to in a quotation from the Aṣṭāngasamgraha). 187 Yogaratnasamuccaya, prose (from the Pāṭhaśuddhi) between 7.79 and 80. 188 Yogaratnasamuccaya 10.125. 189 See the passage referring to Indu. 190 See the passage referring to Indu. 191 See the passage referring to Indu. 192 See the passage referring to Indu. 193 Yogaratnasamuccaya 24.237 (referred to in a quotation from Vṛddhahārīta). 194 Yogaratnasamuccaya 11.100–104. 195 Ad A.h.U.2.69–70. 196 Cf. Su.Ni.13.55–56. 197 Cf. Su.Ni.13.39. 198 Cf. Ca.Śā.8.42–45. 199 Chapter twenty-two, for the larger part in prose. This Nārāyaṇīyabālatantra does not form part of Nārāyaṇa's Tantrasārasamgraha; it is proclaimed by Parāśara, in conformity with Rāvaṇa's Kumāratantra (22.1); the names of the bālagrahas differ from those employed by Nārāyaṇa. Yogaratnasamuccaya 22.184–250 may also be from the Nārāyaṇīya; the names of the bālagrahas, as occurring in these verses, disagree with those found in the prose portion. 200 Yogaratnasamuccaya 22.3–177. This Bālatantra attributed to Jīvaka and proclaimed by Dhanvantari bears more resemblance to chapter eleven of Nārāyaṇa's Tantrasārasamgraha, at least with regard to the names of the bālagrahas and their classification, than the Nārāyaṇīyabālatantra which precedes it.

Abdul Kareem, 1997, Nr. 65). 333 *Annona squamosa* Linn. 334 *Glinus oppositifolius* (Linn.) A.DC. = *Mollugo oppositifolia* Linn. = *M. spergula* Linn. (see M. Abdul Kareem, 1997, Nr. 802; P.V.

Also identified as *Cicca acida* (Linn.) Merrill = *C. disticha* Linn. = *Phyllanthus distichus* Muell. Arg.; see M. Abdul Kareem (1997): 107, Nr. 1270: called *Phyllanthus acidus* (Linn.) Skeels. 341 P.V. Sharma (1997) regards *limpāka* as a synonym of *madhukarkaṭikā*, identified as *Citrus grandis* (Linn.) Osbeck = *C. maxima* (Burm.) Merrill, which cannot be correct, since these two types of Citrus fruit are mentioned separately. Also identified as *Citrus aurantifolia* (Christm.) Swingle, *C. limon* (Linn.) Burn.f (see M. Abdul Kareem, 1997, Nrs. 417 and 423), and *C. medica* Linn. var. *limonum* Wall. (see M. Abdul Kareem, 1997, Nr. 427; absent from WIRM). 342 Identified as *Citrus limetta* Risso (see M.

Sharma, 1997). 345 *Grewia asiatica* Linn. or *G. subinaequalis* DC. (see WIRM IV, 262); compare M. Abdul Kareem (1997), Nr. 821. 346 One of its synonyms is *parvapuṣpī*, a plant mentioned in the *Carakasaṃhitā* (Sū.27.108), but difficult to identify (see T.B. Singh and K.C. Chunekar, 1972: 99–100). 347 *Ophiorrhiza mungos* Linn. 348 *Argemone mexicana* Linn. (see M. Abdul Kareem, 1997, Nr. 153; P.V. Sharma, 1997). 349 *Trikaṇṭaka* is a synonym of *gokṣura* (*Dhanvantarinighaṇṭu* 1.102–103). Compare M. Abdul Kareem (1997), Nrs. 1245 and 1636. 350 A synonym of *pṛśniparṇī* (1.140–142). 351 A synonym of *hilamocikā* (1.291). 352 A synonym of *guñjā* (1.151). 353 A vernacular name of the *babbūla* tree (1.17). 354 A synonym of *medas* (fatty tissue; 5.8). 355 A synonym of *vārtākī*, the aubergine (1.186). 356 Cakrapāṇidatta regards *gandhabhadrā* and *gandhāḍhyā* as synonyms of *prasāraṇī* (see P.V.

v4.c61.117

Sharma’s Intr. to ed. b, 7). The identity of *prasāraṇī* became disputed in the course of time; the plant described under this name in the *Śabdacandrikā* is the one used in Bengal. 357 Cakrapāṇidatta ad Su.Sū.38.12 and 46.274; *Kaiyadevanighaṇṭu* 1.660cd–661; *Paryāyaratnamālā* 612. *Kuruṇṭikā* is often identified as *Celosia argentea* Linn. 358 The vernacular name of *śrīhastinī* = *kuruṇṭikā* is already *hātiśuṇḍā* in *Mādhavakara’s Paryāyaratnamālā*. 359 The author mentions his name at 1.1; he calls himself a physician (*vaidya*). 360 *Cannabis sativa* Linn. (*bhaṅgā*) is not mentioned by the earlier Cakrapāṇidatta; the name *indrāśana*, occurring once in the *Cakradatta* (*kuṣṭha* 64), probably designates another plant in this case, namely *kuṭaja* (see P.V. Sharma’s Intr. to ed. b, 5). 361 The earlier Cakrapāṇidatta was not sure about the identity of these fruits (see Cakrapāṇidatta ad Ca.Sū.27.131 and Su.Sū.46.139). 362 CC and NCC: not recorded.

Sharma (AVI 312) regards the work as posterior to the fourteenth century, because *vijayā* (*Cannabis sativa* Linn.) is prescribed in it; this argument, however, is unconvincing (see G.J. Meulenbeld, 1989). N. Saxena (1995: 64–65) accepts P.V. Sharma’s opinion and dates the *Yogasāra* to A.D. 1600. 370 NCC VIII, 289: author’s name with a question mark; XI, 95. 371 NCC IX, 18.
