675 See, for example, Rasayogasāgara, pakārādi 201, 205, 238, 258, 261, 269, 298. 676 CC II, 115, 126, 220. STMI 105: two works of this name; a small treatise on fevers and a bigger one on rasas to be used against various diseases; a MS of the latter treatise was completed in A.D. 1661/62. S. Ārya (1984): 125. R.G. Bhandarkar (1893), Nr. 235. 677 CC: not recorded. Vṛddhatrayī 471: by Rāmacandradāsaguha, author of a Rasaratnākara and the Rasendracintāmaṇi. VŚS, Preface 7. 678 CC: not recorded. ABI 316. S. Ārya (1984): 125. AVI 469. 679 CC: not recorded. S. Ārya (1984): 125. AVI 469. 680 CC: not recorded. S. Ārya (1984): 125.

STMI 450: the two MSS date from A.D. 1657/58 and 1685/86. S.K. Śarmā (1992): 20: Rasaprabandhacandrodaya by Nāgānātha; of uncertain date. Nāgānātha is also credited with a Rasapradīpa. 684 Cat. Sarasvati Bhavan XII, Nr. 45226. There appears to be confusion with regard to this author. Th. Aufrecht records a Bhaiṣajyasārāmṛtasaṃhitā and a Vaidyadarpaṇa by the same Prāṇanātha who wrote the Rasapradīpa, adding that the Vaidyadarpaṇa dates from A.D. 1827 (CC I, 361 and 495; II, 212). V. Śukla (I, 163–164) claims that, apart from the Rasapradīpa, no other works by Prāṇanātha are known. A. Rahman (STMI 452) mentions three works by Prāṇanātha: Bhaiṣajyasārāmṛtasaṃhitā, Vaidyadarpaṇa, and a commentary on Rāmacandra's Rasapradīpa. The NCC (XIII, 147) refers to Prāṇanāthavaidya, son of Kātyāyana Bhaṭṭa, as the author of either a Rasapradīpa or a commentary on Rāmacandra Guha's work of that title. Prāṇanātha's Rasapradīpa was edited, with a Hindi commentary by Paṇḍit Śivasahāya Caturvedin, by Paṇḍit Śyāmsundar Śāstrī, Iṭāvā 1938. Some extracts from the treatise are found in P. Rāy (1956): 411–413: verses on śaṅkhadrāvarasa and formulae against phirāṅgavādhi. Compare on the contents of this work: S. Ārya (1984): 87–89; Atrideva (1961): 113–114. 689 It consists of 250 verses according to S. Ārya (1984): 87. 690 One of the names of Viṣṇu. 691 See V. Śukla (I, 164–165) on the names of the medicinal rasas. 692 See, for example, Rasayogasāgara, pakārādi 350, 353, 354. 693 See Satyaprakāś (1960: 601–611) for more details on the contents. 694 Mentioned at 1.94 and 117; 2.2.293, 297, 300 and 306 (see Satyaprakāś, 1960). 695 S. Ārya (1984): 87) arrived at the same conclusion. S.K. Śarmā (1992: 19) places the work in the seventeenth century.
