Detailed answer
He notes that Ugrāditya cites the views of earlier ācāryas such as Pūjyapāda, Samantabhadra, Pātrasvāmī, Siddhasena, Daśarathaguru and Meghanātha, whose works are now lost. He says Samantabhadra's work had 18,000 verses, that the Puṣpāyurveda gives rasāyana preparations from 18,000 kinds of pollen-free flowers, and that Somanātha's Kannada translation of Pūjyapāda's Kalyāṇakāraka is the oldest medical work in Kannada, and he laments that such works are being lost to insects.
