A History of Hindu Chemistry from the Earliest Times to the Middle of the Sixteenth Century A.D. v2.c32.s1.5

v2.c32.s1.5

There are, indeed, a great many names scattered throughout the mass of chemical and medical literature, some of which have been handed down to posterity, sometimes on account of the important processes they invented and sometimes, again, because of the efficacy of the metallic preparations which they introduced. Thus in Rasendrachintámani we come across the name of Siddha Lakshmísvara. The names of the sage Brahmajyoti, Manthánabhairava, Svachchhandabhairava and Gahanánandanátha have in this manner been rescued from oblivion. Most of these were Buddhist monks.
