Rasakaumudí is another compilation belonging to this period and as far as its contents go it is comparable to Rasapradípa in many respects; both opium and mineral acids are prescribed. From the colophon in the Calcutta Sanskrit College Library MS. we gather that the author is a physician named Mádhava. Curiously enough he is often confounded with the celebrated Mádhavakara, the author of the Nidánasamgraha, who preceded the former by some 8 or 9 hundred years.
