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. Check-list Nr. 1008. 363 NCC VI, 385. STMI 44. 364 NCC VII, 28: in Sanskrit and Malayāḷam. 365 NCC VI, 55: a *Karmapaddhati* (on yoga?) is also ascribed to him. STMI 45. CBORI XVI, 1, Nr. 304: the author calls himself Cidghanānandanātha at the beginning and Raghuvīra at the end. *Edited by R.G. Harshe, Lonavla 1970. 366 See CBORI XVI, 1, Nr. 304. STMI 45. 367 CC I, 753. See M.V. Reddy (1979). 368 NCC: not recorded. Check-list Nr. 934. STMI 47. Cat. Mysore XIII, Nr. 42674. 369 CC: not recorded. NCC: not recorded. Cat. BHU Nr. 150: author’s name Dakṣa Śrīvaraṇa. P.V. 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. Check-list Nr. 151. AVI 310. Cat. BHU Nr. 102. Cat. Sarasvati Bhavan XII, Nrs. 45174, 45393. 372 P. Cordier (1903b): 346–347; Cordier acquired an almost complete MS consisting of 354 folios; he adds that the work was mentioned for the first time by C. Bendall (see C. Bendall, 1974: 44). 373 AVI 310. See also Cat. BHU Nr. 102. 374 NCC IX, 19 and 23: different from the Dāmodara of the *Vyādhyargala* and the commentary on the *Vaidyajīvana*. Cat. Sarasvati Bhavan, Nr. 44886 (compare AVI 316). Sometimes identified with the author of the *Vyādhyargala* and the commentary on the *Vaidyajīvana* (CC I, 251; STMI 92). 375 NCC, IX, 19: appears to be a section of a bigger work. STMI 50: a small work on the treatment of fevers. H. Śāstrī, Notices II, Nr. 181: 132 ślokas. Compare Cat. Sarasvati Bhavan XII, Nr. 45083: anonymous *Rāmabāṇa*. 376 NCC IX, 19. STMI 50. 377 NCC: not recorded. Bodleian d.733(3): see D. Wujastyk (1990): 93. See on this author’s jyotiṣa work: NCC IX, 22, and CESS A 3, 101. 378 P. Cordier (1903a): 628. Bhagwan Dash (1976): 12; (1976a): 16; (1991): XXI. Bhagwan Dash renders the Tibetan title as *Āryadeśapahabhiṣagdānadāsabheṣajasaṃskāra*; *phaha* is a variant of *phataha*.
