Cikitsāvarṇana (Śārṅgadhara)

This multilingual manuscript (No. 2246, dated 3-6-69, 22 folios, 26 x 17.8 cm) presents a rare confluence of Sanskrit, Gurmukhi, and Prakrit textual traditions, encompassing mathematical treatises, Ayurvedic medical formulations, and diagnostic methodologies. The text notably features sophisticated *bhāgaparikarma* (fractional operations) calculations alongside detailed *nāḍī parīkṣā* (pulse examination) and *mūtra parīkṣā* (urinalysis) protocols, demonstrating the integrated scholarly practices of medieval South Asian knowledge systems. Particularly significant is the preservation of Gurmukhi-script medical diagnostics—likely representing a Punjabi or North Indian scribal tradition—interspersed with classical Sanskrit *kalpa* (medicinal preparation) instructions and mathematical verse problems (*praśna*). The manuscript's hybrid linguistic and disciplinary character offers valuable insight into the circulation of technical knowledge across regional and scriptural boundaries in early modern India.
