Which one of the following texts is a commentary written by Chakrapanidatta (11 Century CE from Bengal) on the Sushrut Samhita?

  1. A.Sabdachandrika
  2. B.Bhanumati✓ Correct
  3. C.Nitiratnakara
  4. D.Lohasarvasava

Explanation

Chakrapanidatta was an 11th-century Ayurvedic scholar from Bengal who wrote several important commentaries. His commentary on the Sushrut Samhita is known as 'Bhanumati'. He also wrote 'Ayurveda Dipika', a commentary on the Charaka Samhita. Sabdachandrika is a medical lexicon by Vaidya Chakrapani, Nitiratnakara is unrelated to medicine, and Lohasarvasava refers to a metallurgical preparation. Therefore, Bhanumati is the correct answer.
