b Sushena's Ayurveda Mahodadhi – Annapanavidhi (Dietetics in Ayurveda), edited with Introduction by Sri S. Venkatasubrahmanya Sastri, Tanjore Sarasvati Mahal Series No. 20, Madras Government Oriental Series LX, Tanjore 1950; this ed. is based on three MSS which are not described. References are to b. 1231 It is called Āyurvedamahodadhi in all the colophons of the ed., but Annapānavidhi in the opening lines (omitted in CBORI XVI, 1, Nrs. 21–23). 1232 Compare DGV IV, 286–287. 1233 MS Nr. 21 of CBORI seems to contain three more sections than the printed text: mukhavā-sādhikāra, dhūpavarga, and vājīkaraṇavidhi. Additional matter is also found at the end of MS Nr. 23 of the same collection. Compare NCC II, 153. 1234 AVI 388. 1235 NCC II, 153. AVI 389. P.V. Sharma (1976a): 123. This view is based on the opening lines of Dāmodara's Ārogyacintāmaṇi, which refer to āyurvedamahodadhi, which is not the title of a treatise there, while, moreover, Suṣeṇa is left unmentioned. Cat. BHU (see Nr. 20) also regards the Ārogyacintāmaṇi as a commentary. 1236 CC I, 155, 596, 730; II, 175: Śārīraka by Suṣeṇa, written under his pseudonym Śrīsukha; compare CC I, 643 (Śārīraka by Śrīmukha) and 675 (Śārīraka by Śrīsukha). NCC VI, 59: Guṇaguṇī. 1237 See Har Dutt Sharma (1942): 3 and 9 (a long extract from Suṣeṇa's work is given). 1238 Identified as Echinops echinatus Roxb. (see M. Abdul Kareem, 1997, Nr. 652). 1239 AVI 389 (BHU Nr. B 2024; this is an error for 2084). See Cat. BHU Nr. 20 (= B 2084).
