Edition: āyurvedasūtram yogānandanāthabhāṣyasametam; The Ayurvedasutram with the commentary of Yoganandanatha, edited by R. Shama Sastry, University of Mysore, Oriental Library Publications, Sanskrit Series No. 61, Mysore 1922 [BL.14004.b.30; IO.San. 26.BB.2]; repr., University of Mysore Oriental Research Institute Series No. 166, Mysore 1988. The edition is based on three MSS of the Sūtra and one of the commentary. 209 These pākas do not agree with those of the classical doctrine of āyurveda; see Vaidya Bhagwan Dash (1971): 68–69. 210 The classical doctrine of āyurveda distinguishes eight main types of fever. 211 Sūtras 2.20 and 21, on the lotus located in the back (pṛṣṭha), are identical; the lotus of the umbilical region (nābhi) is described in two different ways (2.24 and 25), namely as covered by twenty, respectively thirty, vessels, and connected with the syllable ṅa, respectively the syllables ṭa and ṭha. 212 Āyurvedasūtra 3.1 = Yogasūtra 1.1; 3.13 = 1.3; 3.60 is related to Yogasūtra 1.15. 213 See R. Shama Sastry’s Intr. to his ed. of the Āyurvedasūtra. 214 Bhoja’s commentary is called Rājamārtaṇḍa. 215 Rāmānandarasavatī’s commentary is called Maṇiprabhā. See CC I, 480 and 520. 216 Three varieties are described, vātapittodara, kaphapittodara, and plīhodara (4.25–27). The types of classical āyurveda are different. 217 The sweet taste increases the blood, the salt taste the fatty tissue, and the acid taste muscular tissue. 218 This series, more complete than that found at 4.40–42, differs from the latter: the sweet taste increases semen (śukla), the acid taste bone marrow (majjā), the salt taste bone tissue (asthi), the bitter taste fatty tissue (medas), the pungent taste muscular tissue (māṃsa), and the astringent taste both blood (rakta) and the nutrient fluid (rasa). 219 Sūtras 5.44–49 and 85–88 are, as indicated in Shama Sastry’s Intr. to the ed. (9), borrowed from the Taittirīyopaniṣad. Āyurvedasūtra 5.85–88 = Taittirīyopaniṣad 3.10.5.
