By Gadādhara Bhattācārya. Substance, country-made paper. 17x4 inches. Folia, 8. Lines, 7, 8 on a page. Extent in slokas, 290. Character, Bengali of the early 19th century. Appearance, discoloured. Complete. It begins :
- ॐ नमः परमदेवतायै । लिऽर्थः कार्यत्वं पाकादिरूपलौकिकक्रियायामेव प्रथमतोऽन्वेति, न तु खर्गकामो यजेतेत्यादितो यागादौ प्रथमतस्तदन्वयः। किन्तु कार्यत्वेनैव वैदिकलिड्वाच्चे अपूर्व प्रथमतो विषयतया यागाद्यन्वयः
प्रतीयते। इत्यादि। On the right-hand side of every leaf there is written अपूर्व० भ० टी० or अपूर्व० मू० भ० टौ• evidently the abbreviation for Apūrva-vādamūla-Bhattācāryatīkā. But it seems to be an independent treatise by Gadādhara. Gadādhara is known by his family title Bhattācārya, as he had been given no other title for his attainments.
