Guṇasekara, with a Sinhalese interpretation, *part 1 (609 verses), Colombo 1903; part 2 (p.73–150), Colombo 1910 [BL.14044.b.6]. 138 See on the relations between Sri Lanka and South India: R.A.L.H. Gunawardana (1979): 262–271. 139 W.A. de Silva (1913): 35–36. De Silva's account of the contents (1913: 37–38) differs slightly from that given above; he adds a list of thirty subjects to be studied by physicians (1913: 36–37). Compare on the contents: *D. Pannasara (1958); A. Senadhira (1995): 21–23. 140 J. Liyanaratne (1987b): 202; S. Paranavitana (1953): 124. C.E. Godakumbura (1955: 331) and C.G. Uragoda (1987: 106) give A.D. 362–409 as the dates of his reign; H.W. Codrington (1994: 29) places him in the fourth century. 141 Cūḷavaṃsa 37.105–178 (ed. W. Geiger, 1925: I, 7–14) (compare W. Geiger, 1960: 76; C.E. Godakumbura, 1955: 331; C. Lassen, 1861: 301; K.R. Norman, 1983: 162); Cūḷavaṃsa 37.146 says about him: sabbesaṃ vejjasatthānaṃ katvā sāratthasaṃgahaṃ / yojesi vejjam ekekaṃ rājā gāmadvipañcake. A Sāratthasaṃgaha is described as a work on the true doctrine, furnished with eleven thousand ganthas (Sanskrit granthas), at Cūḷavaṃsa 97.56–60 (see W. Geiger's translation and his note on the meaning of gantha, 1953: 244; see on grantha also: P. Schalk, 1972: 115). 142 See Cūḷavaṃsa 37.112–123. 143 See Cūḷavaṃsa 37.147. 144 See on the Sāratthasaṃgraha and Buddhadāsa: W. Geiger (1960): 76; C.E. Godakumbura (1955): 331–332; J. Jolly (1901): 15 (C.G. Kashikar 19); J. Liyanaratne (1987b): 202; G.P. Malalasekera (1958): 70–71; *D. Pannasara (1958): 192–199; S. Paranavitana (1953): 124–126; A.K. Śāstrī (1981): 123; C.G. Uragoda (1987): 24, 35, 106, 167, 168. A Sāratthasaṃgaha is mentioned in a Pagan inscription of A.D. 1442 according to G.P. Malalasekera (1958: 222) and K.R. Norman (1983: 162; see his references). 145 The CC (I, 713; II, 170) records an anonymous medical treatise of this name. J. Liyanaratne (1987a: 198): a Sanskrit work with a Sinhalese sannaya; the Prayogaratnāvaliya, Varayogasāraya, Yogaratnākaraya and Yogārṇavaya resemble the Sārasaṃgraha, which has, in its turn, a great deal in common with Ravigupta's Siddhasāra. A.K. Śāstrī (1981: 123): in Sinhalese prose; dating from the Jambūdroṇī period. 146 CC: not recorded. K.D. Somadasa (1996): 139–140 (WS. 141) and 250 (WS. 308). Editions: a ed. by D.H.S.
