Candranandana (चन्द्रनन्दन) or Candracandana is the author of the Padārthacandrikā (or Guṇapāṭha): a commentary on the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā: one of the three great works of Vāgbhaṭa.—The Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā consists only of verses. The eight-fold division is observed in the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā too, though not as strictly as in the Aṣṭāṅgasaṃgraha. Numerous commentaries on the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā [viz., Candranandana’s Padārthacandrikā], many of them unedited so far, can be traced in manuscripts, catalogues, publishers’ lists, etc.

Candranandana (Tib. Zla-ba-la dga-ba), the son of Ratinandana (Tib. Chags-pa-la dga-ba), hailed from Kashmir. The Padārthacandrikā (Tib. Thsig-gi don-gyi zla-zer) was translated into Tibetan by Rin-chen-bzaṅ-po between the years 1013 and 1055. Candranandana may or may not be identical with the physician Candrābhinandana (Tib. Zla-ba[-la] mṅon-dga), who is said to have assisted Vairocana in putting the Four Tantras (rGyud bzi) into Tibetan at the time of King Khri-sroṅ-lde(u)-btsan, or with the medical lexicographer Candranandana, who is frequently cited by the Amara scholiast Kṣīrasvāmin in the late 11th century.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
