Edition: āyurvedābhiṣāraḥ, prathamo bhāgaḥ, sampādakaḥ Dr. Pullela Śrīrāmacandraḥ, Sanskrit Academy Series 41, Sanskrit Academy, Osmania University, Hyderabad 1989; dvitīyo bhāgaḥ, sampādakaḥ Mudigaṇṭi Gopāla (edited by Dr. M. Gopal Reddy), Sanskrit Academy Series 45, Osmania University, Hyderabad 1991; this edition is based on a single paper MS, preserved in the Library of the Osmania University; the MS was completed in A.D. 1796 (see the Preface to the edition). The title is mentioned at the end of the work. See on this treatise: *D.V.S. Reddy and B. Rama Rao (1963). 161 The author does not mention his name at the end of the treatise (see B. Rama Rao, 1978: 12). 162 The first part breaks off towards the end of the nidāna of visarpa. 163 The second part begins with the therapy of visarpa. 164 See, for example, 4468–71, consisting of four verses absent from the chapter on visphoṭa of Mādhava's treatise. 165 Compare with the Mādhavanidāna the following series of chapters of the Āyurvedabdhīsāra: śiroroga, netraroga, karṇaroga, nāsāroga, mukharoga, viṣa, strīroga, garbhasrāva and garbhapāta, mūdhagarbha, sūtikāroga, stanaroga, bālaroga. The arrangement of the kṣudrarogas differs considerably from their order in the Mādhavanidāna. 166 Phiraṅga is referred to in some recipes of part one (4014–4019; 4042–4044); copacīnī, often prescribed against phiraṅga, occurs in the formula of copacīnīpāka (4050–4051), employed against upadaṃśa and related disorders. 167 Not known from other sources.
