History of Chemistry in Ancient and Medieval India, Incorporating the History of Hindu Chemistry by Acharya Prafulla Chandra Ray c17.30

c17.30

The Tibetan translation of the first work is, however, unfortunately lost; only its name occurs in the Tibetan catalogue. The work was composed by Vyadipāda and was translated into Tibetan by Narendrabhadra of India and the Tibetan translator Ratnasri of Oddiyana. The second work, according to the Tibetan catalogue, appears to form a part of Vyadipāda's work in the opinion of Pandit Bhattacharya. The last two works, Nos. 3 and 4, have been translated into English and published along with the original Tibetan texts in Roman scripts in the Commemoration Volume by Pandit Bhattacharya as already referred to. They were recovered from the xylographs of the Tanjur manuscript of Narthang edition, belonging to the Visvabharati Library. We shall reproduce these along with their Tibetan texts as appendix in our present volume.
