| Notes/Description | : | Virasinhavaloka, a work on medical treatment based on Religious Law, Astrology and Medicine.Amongst the medical works, Atreyasanhita,Caraka, Sus’ruta, Vagbhata, Runvinis’caya,Vrndasarigraha and Tisata are quoted. Of astrological works, S’ripati, Citragrahayoga and SaraValijataka are often referred to. “The author of this work is Virasinha, a prince of thefamous Rajaputa family of Tomara, the founder of a dynasty in Gwalior about 1375, who wrotehis work in 1383.” See Jolly, Medicine, p. 5. Our MS. appears to have been copied from an old much worn-out MS., which appears to have been the author’s own copy written for him by a court-writer called Saranga ; see the two concluding verses which are not found in any other MS. From these verses, it is also possible to maintain that one Saranga composed, and not merely scribed, the work at the order of King Virasinhadeva.Our scribe remarks on fol.180, last line, अत्र पर्णतत्रयं त्रुटितं. He was a Gujarati of the Udicya Dholaka caste and had copied out this MS. for a private person dwelling in a village near Ahmadabad. For other Mss, cf. I. O., No. 2684, Bik., p. 495 ; Stein, Kas'mir Catalogue, p. 189; Peterson, Ulwar Cata., p. 71, and Bhandarkar, Private MSS., pt. I. p. 125, No. 246. In this last place the following verse giving the date of the work is found.After this, quotations are given from याद्मवल्क्य, शातातप, आत्रेयसंहिता, which go to prove the following conclusion :- |
