Is it still the case that only the Sūtra-sthāna section of Candranandana's
*Padārtha-candrikā* commentary on the *Aṣṭāṅga-hṛdaya* has so far been
published? The bibliographic data for this edition is given by G. Jan
Meulenbeld in his *History of Indian Medical Literature*, Volume 1B, p.
731, note 126, as first published in 1928, and then reprinted in 1956/57. I
was not able to find a more recent reprint for sale. A scan of what is
apparently the 1928 edition is available at Archive.org, although the
opening pages are missing:



https://archive.org/details/ashtangahridayavagbhattacommentaryofarunadattapadarthachandrikachandranandatikah_167_i/mode/2up



Despite spending hours searching all the various spellings of
*Aṣṭāṅga-hṛdaya* at Archive.org, I was not able to find another copy of
this there. So my questions are:



1. Has any more of Candranandana's *Padārtha-candrikā* commentary been
published?



2. Is there a recent reprint of the 1928 edition of the Sūtra-sthāna with
his commentary that can be purchased?



3. Does anyone have access to the original book who can scan the opening
pages missing in the Archive.org download?



Thank you,
