Narahari ; but it is said here to be of Kiaturasit instead of Kashaya, as stated in the Nighantus. Likewise Tintrika, rather Danti, as suggested by the ViceChancellor, has the same properties that are given to Danti in the Nighantus. In the case of Sringi in sutra 14, the autlior's indebtedness tu Narahari is quite Clear from the use of the word "atisara" which is found only in the Rajanighantu, but not in the Dhanvantari Nighantu. Again in ihe enumeration of the properties of Nili or Nilini in sutra 3!, he says that it cures the poison due to worms and is also an antidote to merital disorder (Moha) which is only found in Bhavaprakasa, but not in Dhanvantari or Rajanighantu. Accordingly the ascription of the work to Brahma in ihe tenth sutra of the first Prasna may be due either to the author's intention to give the work an authoritative origin or to its compilation from some older work ascribed to Brahma. From these considerations it follows that the Ayurvedasutra is a compilation from various medical and Yoga works, of which some are as early as the first century B. C. and a few as late as fifteenth century A. D.
Tliere is however some doubt as to the extent of the work at the time of the compilation. At the end of his commentary on the fifty-first sutra of the fifth Prasna the commentator says that his commentary on each of the sutras of the fifth Prasna, fanious, acceptable to the learned, and made in the interests of the world is brougit to a close. Then there come two verses one in Sikharini metre and another in Sioka netre in praise of Siva and his spouse Parvati, followed by a phrase meaning that the work has been submitted at the feet of the Lord of all. No such verses appear at the close or other chapters. Vor are there any verses at the beginning of the third and fourth chapters. At the covimencement of the first chapter there is a verse in Sloka metre u praise ol Vinayaka, In the beginning
