The India Office Library MS Ch ii 003 contains 73 folios of a medical text written alternatingly in Sanskrit and Khotanese. The folios are numbered from 44 to 116. Although the text ends in the middle of a Sanskrit recipe, the beginning of the text has survived. As no title and no colophon are extant and as the text has not been traced elsewhere H. W. Bailey assigned the text the convenient label Jwaka-pustaka 'The Book of Jivaka'. The text begins as an exposition made by the Bhagavant to the famous physician Jīvaka, called elsewhere in Khotanese 'the king of physicians
