The editor says it is now undisputed that the great sage Pūjyapāda wrote a medical work: the Kalyāṇakāraka itself mentions his work, and an inscription verse says that Pūjyapāda, revered by kings, composed the Jainendra nyāsa praised by all the learned, the Śabdāvatāra nyāsa on Pāṇini, a medical treatise (vaidyaśāstra) for the good of mankind, and a commentary on the Tattvārtha.

Why it is kept for review: Jain medical tradition (Pūjyapāda as a medical author).

न्यासं जैनेंद्रसंरां सकलबुधनुतं पाणिनीयस्य च भूयो। न्यासं शब्दावतारं मनुजाततिहितं वैद्यशास्त्रं च कृत्वा॥
