v4.c61.126

520 NCC IV, 132; VII, 26: compiled in the fourteenth century. Edition: Veṅkaṭeśvar Press, Bombay 1884/85 [BL.14043.e.21; IO.9.G.7]. The NCC refers to ABI 314 and 319, where, however, conflicting claims are found: Atrideva mentions a Cikitsākarmakalpavalī by Kāśīnātha Caturvedin, printed by the Veṅkaṭeśvar Press (314), and an author called Kāśīnātha Dvivedin, said to have written the Rasakalpalatā, Cikitsākramavalī, Ajīrṇamañjarī, and the Gūḍhārthadīpikā commentary on the Śārṅgadharasaṃhitā (319). G. Hāldār (Vṛddhatrayī 468) ascribes to Kāśīnātha Dvivedin, who lived in the fourteenth century, the same works as Atrideva does. Umeśacandragupta (VŚS, Preface 9) mentions Kāśīnātha Dvivedin as a native of Benares, who wrote the Cikitsākramapavalī, a book generally used by the physicians in the Northwestern Provinces.
