the Añcalagaccha, composed at Paṭan in A.D. 1386/87; it was composed on the request of Campaka Rāvala, son of Bhadiga. 138 See NCC XII, 153; Check-list Nr. 600; STMI 137. R. Jain (1999: 26) still ascribes the Rasādhyāya to Kaṅkālīya, whom he regards as a Jain ācārya. 139 See JAI 99–102 and Indradeva Tripāṭhī’s Ātmanivedana to the edition. 140 The end of the commentary is absent from the MSS used by the editor. 141 Cat. Berlin Nr. 964. 142 Mahendraprabha Sūri is regarded as the teacher of Campaka by R. Bhaṭnāgar (JAI 99) and Indradeva Tripāṭhī (Ātmanivedana to the ed.). 143 CC: not recorded. ABI 316. S. Ārya (1984): 127. AVI 471. Bhagvat Sinh Jee (1927): 213 (by Medanunga; described as a work on the uses of mineral and metallic substances). 144 JAI 104 (two non-medical works by the same Merutuṅga are mentioned, the Kāmadevacarita, completed in A.D. 1352/53, and the Sambhavanāthacarita, written in A.D. 1356/57; these works are absent from the CC). 145 S.K. Śarmā (1992: 18) assigns the author of the Rasādhyāya, called Kaṅkālīśiṣya by him, to the thirteenth century. 146 The year mentioned is 1443, usually interpreted as the year 1443 of the Vikrama era (= A.D. 1386/87). 147 CC I, 467. Krishnamachariar (1989): 207. Winternitz II, 332. A.K. Chatterjee (1978: 158) mentions A.D. 1302. 148 CC: not recorded. Krishnamachariar 365. 149 The date of the Berlin MS appears to be uncertain; is its therefore not impossible that this Merutuṅga wrote the vṛtti on the Rasādhyāya. 150 CC I, 167 and 497; II, 34 and 116. NCC VI, 203 (the Aṣṭādaśasaṃskāra of NCC I, 467 is actually the Rasahṛdaya). Check-list Nrs. 39 (Aṣṭādaśasaṃskāra), 608–609 (Rasahṛdaya). STMI 440. CBORI XVI, 1, Nr. 16: Aṣṭādaśasaṃskāra (= Rasahṛdaya) with the commentary of Caturbhuja Miśra. Cat. München Nr. 402; a copy of the paper MS Nr. 3 (118) of the Durbar Library in Kāṭhmāṇḍu (see P. Peterson, 1899: Preface XXII). Cat. Mysore Nr. 42370.
