Vaidyaka
[17.
Description.- Country paper; Devanāgari characters; several hand
writings; the handwriting is bold in the beginning with 7 lines on a page, but it grows smaller from fol. 4r onwards till towards the end it has 15 lines on a page with 49 letters in a line. The work chiefly deals with different rasas but takes into consideration other medicines also. On fol. 8a we find diagrams of 4 different types of utensils used in preparing the rasas. Sanskrit text is followed by Hindi Translation. The name of the author is rarorat in the beginning, but the last colophon on fol. 74a gives the name of नृसिंहभारती. The work ends there. On fol. 74° we find medicine for वन(ण)प्रयसंग्रहनी(णी) in Hindi. On fol. 75, we find a record of the sale of the Ms. for 14 Rupees. The date of the sale is curiously 3 years earlier than the copying of the book. Paper is old and musty. There are four lines in black ink on both the borders. Fol. 56 is missing.
Age.- Sam. 1717. Author.- Anandabharati or Nrsimhabhārati. Begins. fol. 1b
