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. - [Previous: v2.c32.t1.92](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.ray-1902.v2.c32.t1.92) - [Next: v2.c32.t1.94](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.ray-1902.v2.c32.t1.94) - [Up: v2.c32.t1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.ray-1902.v2.c32.t1) ## Cites (2) - [Rasakaumudī (Śrīkaṇtha Dīkṣita)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.rasa.samuccaya.uttarakalina.rasakaumudi) — Śrīkaṇtha Dīkṣita 1600, Sanskrit - [Rasapradīpa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.art.alamkara.rasa.rasanirupana-works.rasapradipa-2) — Prabhākara 1560, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.ray-1902.v2.c32.t1.93](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.ray-1902.v2.c32.t1.93) · Pramāṇa
