IO SAN 2357b

Yogaśata

Contents

Language(s): Sanskrit

Title: Yogaśata, with a commentary Yogaśatabhāṣya

A manual of materia medca, in 102 verses, the author of which is not mentioned.

The author of the treatise is repeatedly reffered to by the commentator as the ācārya.

Only a quotation from Caraka (fol.37a) and a few references to former commentaries are met with in the commentary.

The Berlin Catalogue., nos.959-60, and Burnell, Tanjore MSS., p.67b, ascribe the text of the Yogaśata to a Vararuci; whilst Berl.961 contains th epresent commentary without the author's name. In the Oxford Ms. (Aufr., Cat., no. 752) the author of the Yogaśata is not mentioned. Cf. Dietz, Anal. Med., p.155.

According to Prof. Bendall, Cat. of Sanskrit, Pali, and Prakrit Books in the British Museum (where two different editions of the Yogaśata, in the Sinhalese character, are mentioned) an examination of the two Mss of the India Office has shown the Ceylontext to represent the older of the two known redactions, and to correspond with the text of the Mss. in all but the last two stanzas.

Author: Amitaprabha (author of the commentary)
