________________ weapon (Salyabhihata ) or tremulous anxiety ( akulitas ya ) for holding the motion ( or discharge ) of stool and urine, etc. again and again as given below : वान्तस्य शल्याभिहतस्य जन्तोः । वेगावरोधाकूलितस्य भूयः ।। गति विधत्ते धमनी गजेन्द्र - Atraraq 691670iH 11 NP. 52.3 The same version of this verse is presented in its original form in Nadivijnanam, verse 20. It appears from the citation of these evidences of different versions of the verses of Nadiprakasam and Nadivijnanam respectively, placed side by side for a close study, that Sri Sankara Sen borrowed many verses from Nadivijnanam of Maharsi Kanada. He composed his work“ Nadiprakasam " on the basis of the former, on the science of pulse, by adding more material on the subject from other sources and his own knowledge and experience on the symptomology of pulses of some other diseases which are not mentioned in Nadivijnanam. It is noteworthy that Nadivijnanam of Maharsi Kanada has furnished more materials on the determination of the length of life and time of death of a person on the basis of the study of the science of pulse in his celebrated work. In this connection, I am very grateful to Prof. Dr. H. V. Bhayani for his going through the M. S. of my work with keen interest and intellectual acumen.
