220 This series agrees for the greater part with 5.44–49. 221 The Vedic names of the months are used instead of those that became current in later times, e.g., Madhu instead of Caitra. 222 Some of the names are unusual, e.g., tintrikā (10.13), kalya (10.17), śauṇḍa (10.28), tapasvinī (= jaṭāmāṃsī; 10.32), dharuṣī (10.33), suprabhā (= padmakāṣṭha or bākucī; 10.37), tāmrapuṣpī (= dhātakī or pāṭalā; 10.38), dīrghāyus (= jīvaka or śālmalī; 10.46), vṛṣyavallī (10.49), kalalā (10.65), āmaṇḍā (= eraṇḍa; 10.75), and vāmanī (= kapikacchū; 10.79). A few substances are described than once: tintrikā (10.13, 41, 43: three entirely different versions), vāluka (10.24 and 35: two different versions), and balā (10.73 and 77; 73 is a shortened version of 77). The descriptions cannot, as claimed in the Intr. to the edition (13–14), have been borrowed from the Dhanvantari-, Rāja-, and Bhāvaprakāśanighaṇṭu, because of the numerous discrepancies. 223 Āyurvedasūtra 11.3–54 = Yogasūtra 2.4–55; 12.1–55 = Yogasūtra 3.1–55; 12.56–76 = Yogasūtra 4.1–22. 224 These statements agree with those in chapter five. 225 These series of lotuses and letters of the alphabet disagree with the series of chapter two; the number of lotuses is thirty-five in chapter two, twenty-seven in chapter fourteen. 226 See also on the special features Shama Sastry’s Intr. to his edition of the Āyurvedasūtra. 227 See R. Shama Sastry’s Intr. to the edition, 13. 228 J.N. Farquhar (1967): 289. 229 J. Filliozat in L. Renou and J. Filliozat (1953): 46. 230 See the footnotes to the edition. Yogānanda usually refers to its Sūtrasthāna as sūtravacana, sometimes as sūtrasthāna (e.g., ad 1.5 and 3.82); the Śārīrasthāna is quoted as śārīravacana (e.g., ad 1.71, 74, 76), rarely as sūtravacana (e.g., ad 1.66), the Nidānasthāna as nidānavacana (e.g., ad 1.52–56); the Cikitsāsthāna is also quoted (ad 1.60). 231 NCC: not recorded.
