| Notes/Description | : | S'arngadharasanhita is the famous work on Therapeutics composed by S'arngadhara, son of Damodara. This S’arngadhara is identified with the author of S'arngadharapaddhati ( 1363 A.D.) by Aufrecht at Cat. Cata., II. p. 153 a. But this is not probable, since Vopadeva, son of Kes’ava, (middle of the 13th century; see above No. 78) is Known to have written a commentary on this medical work; see Weber, I. p. 285,No. 937 for a MS. of this commentary. Cf. also, Jolly, Medicine, p. 4 and Winternitz, Geschichte,III. p. 551. It cannot be a very old work since opium and preparations of quick-silver are used for cures in it and pulse-feeling appears under the means of diagnoses. These things were borrowed very late from the Persians and the.Arabians according to Jolly, Medicine. p. 18. |
