Murthy (1984): 67–74. 692 A quotation from Agniveśa. 693 Quoted on the symptoms of some diseases. 694 CC: not recorded. 695 CC: not recorded. 696 NCC: not recorded. Quoted on the treatment of eye diseases. 697 NCC: not recorded. 698 Part of the quotations from Caraka consist of rasauṣadhas of a much later date than the Carakasaṃhitā (see, e.g., 30, 120, 127); some descriptions of diseases said to be borrowed from Caraka are not found in the Carakasaṃhitā (see, e.g., 108 on styānavāta). 699 NCC: not recorded. 700 Many formulae from the Devīśāstra are found in the Rasayogasāgara. 701 I.e., the Hāritasamhitā. 702 A iatrochemical formula. 703 Quoted on karmavipāka. Several works of this title are known (NCC III, 193–194). 704 CC: not recorded. 705 The quotations from the Mādhavanidāna are only partly from that treatise (see, e.g., 80, 139, 153); many verses describing diseases do not occur in it (see, e.g., 93, 94, 95, 96, etc.; 118, 119, 122, 123, 146); on the other hand, some borrowings from a granthāntara may be from the Nidāna (see, e.g., 11). A large number of prescriptions said to derive from the Mādhavanidāna cannot be from that work, nor from the Mādhavacikitsā, since they are from a much later date than Mādhava's works (see, e.g., 39, 75–76, 82, 130, 140, 143, 145, 248).
