Commentary to page i. The word takman is not mentioned at all in the Risf- veda, but occurs very frequently in the Atharvan. Four hymns, I, 25; V, 22; VI, 20; VII, 116, are devoted exclusively to its cure ^ ; the word is mentioned frequently elsewhere in the Atharvan ; and there are descriptions of diseases, such as are stated in AV. I, 12, which are very closely allied in character to the takman, but the word is not mentioned in the text. The Ga/^-amala, the 32nd of the Atharva-Parij-ish/as, p...resents in its seventh paragraph a series (ga/za) of no less than nineteen hymns, supposed to be devoted to the cure of this disease (takmanaj-ana) ; see Kaui-. 26, i, note. Sayawa to AV. XIX, 34, 10 explains takman as follows : kr/X'Mra^ivanakartaraw yasmin sati kril^k/irena. ^ivanaw bhavati. Professor Roth in his famous tract, ' Zur Litteratur und Geschichte des Veda ' (p. 39), published in 1846, thought that the takman referred to leprosy because the name of the plant kush///a (costus speciosus), the specific against takman, is in the later medical writings also a designation of leprosy.
