Age -Comparatively modern looking. Author - Katyayana. Subject — The Ms. purports to give in a collected form the various
Vārttikas which Kātyāyang wrote in emendation of Pāṇini's. aphorisms. The Vārttikas are not the same as those given in Dr. Kielhorn's edition of the Mahābhāshya, many passages printed as Vārttikas in the edition being absent in the Ms., while portions which clearly belong to the text of Patañjali are presented as the dicta of Katyāyana. In many cases however what is introduced in the Mahābhāshya by अपर आह &c. is also given here as a Vārttika of Katyayana himself, as also what appear to be direct emendations of
Patañjali himself to the Sūtras of Pāṇini. Begins - शंभवे नमः । गणपतये नमः । सिद्धे शब्दार्थसंबंधे लोकतीर्थ
