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).
