209 Dates assigned to the Rasaratnasamuccaya are: eleventh or twelfth century (Bhudeb Mookerjee, Rasajalanidhi V, Intr. XXXVI–XXXVII: the author is the Vāgbhaṭa who is mentioned in Kalhaṇa's Rājatarangiṇī, who lived during the reign of king Jayasiṃha, A.D. 1199–1211), twelfth century (K.R. Srikanta Murthy, Intr. to his translation of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā, XVII), thirteenth century (ABI 411–412; Atrideva, 1961: 110; AVI 459–461; C. Dwarkanath, 1991: 43; Gaṇanātha Sena, 1924; 54–55; Satyaprakāś, 1960: 464; V. Śukla I, 178), about A.D. 1300 (J. Filliozat in L. Renou et J.

Ārya, 1984: 67), and the period 1300–1550 (P. Rāy, 1956: 158; said to be coeval with the Rasendracintāmaṇi). G. Hāldār (Vṛddhatrayī 299–300) regards the Rasaratnasamuccaya as the revised version of an earlier work; the revision is in his view due to Somadeva, the author of the Rasendracūḍāmaṇi, who lived in the thirteenth century. 210 This plant, called mahābharī (18.19), is described for the first time in the Bhāvaprakāśaṇighaṇṭu (harītakayādi 105). The mahābherī (30.64) may be the same plant as the mahābharī. 211 See J. Jolly (1901): 4 (C.G. Kashikar 5). 212 See edition f.
