This edition has been scanned and made publicly available online at the Digital Library of India
Meulenbeld, History of Indian Medical Literature (Groningen, 1999-2002), IIA p.672 f. notes that "The Bodhinī is an interesting and useful commentary; it gives much attention to the text of the Rasaratnasamuccaya; a large number of variants and parallels are discussed by the authros, who were Bengali brāhmaṇas, sons of the well-known Jīvānanda Vidyāsāgara [Bhaṭṭācārya]". The Bodhinī gives English language equivalents for some items, such as "ग्लस्" (glass) and बोतल् (bottle) (1927 edition, p.185, on ch.7, vv.17-19)

Encoding Description

Editorial Description

The published edition from which this e-text was transcribed is printed in the Devanāgarī script. The electronic text below is in a lossless transliteration using the Latin alphabet. The transliteration scheme used is the IAST (The International Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration). IAST differs in small ways from ISO 15919, but is preferred by most working Sanskrit scholars. Conversion of this file to ISO 15919 can be achieved by performing the following replacements throughout the file: ṛ -> r̥ and ṃ -> ṁ

Text divison is as Devanāgarī ("ityevam" not "ity evam".)

The the text is divided in 30 chapters. Chapters 1-17 and 22 include the base text (the Rasaratnasamuccaya) as well as two commentaries: Rasaratnasamuccayabodhinī and Rasaratnasamuccayaṭīkā. These were wrapped in quote-elements with the follwing attributes:

  • (for the sake of consistency, the base text was also wrapped in a quote-element in the chapters where the commentaries are not included),
  • ,

There are two versions of chapters 17 and 22, one is based on the input by Oliver Hellwig, who only transcribed parts of these chapters. The other on the version was produced by AYURYOG. They can be distinguished by the resp-attribute of the div-element.

In chapters 17-30 (encoded by AYURYOG), pb-elements refer to the page numbers in the source edition.

Initial vowel elision for avagraha is reversed and marked with a + sign: e.g., "prathamo+adhyāyaḥ"

Structure of references:

  • VRrs_nn.nn = VāgbhaṭaRasaratnasamuccaya_adhyāya.verse
  • VRrsBo_nn.nn;nn = Rasaratnasamuccayabodhinī (line)
  • VRrsṬī_nn.nn;nn = Rasaratnasamuccayaṭīkā (line)
