DNC p. 498-499 :

If the reasoning presented thus far is correct, it follows that all the quotations from Vaise şika works that are identified by Mallavādin or by his commentator Simhasüri, belong to the katandi or to the Tikā written on it by Prasastapada." The Kațandi, furthermore, was then at least partly written in the Vārttika-style, which contains vākyas and bhāsyas..
It seems reasonable to assume that more quotations from the Katandi and from its ȚIkā occur in the seventh Ara of the Dvādaśāra Nayacakra. We might furthermore be tempted to think that all quotations that clearly derive from a Vaiśesika work and that exhibit the Värttika-style, are quotations from the Kațandi. This latter assumption, however, has to be treated with much caution, for the following reason :
