SARASVATIKANTHĀBHARAN... On the sūtra sārvadhātuke yak (P. 3. 1. 67), vārrtika 3 says: bhāva-karmanoryagvidhāne karma-kartary-upasamkhyānam. On this the Bhāsyakāra remarks: “: blāvakarmanor-yag-vidhāne karma-kartary-upasaṁkhyānaṁ kartavyam/ pacyate svyameva / pathyate svyameva / .... athavācārya-pravịttir-jñāpayati bhavati karmakartaryag-iti yadayam na duha-snu-namāṁ yak-ciņau (3.1.89) iti yak-ciņoh prátisedham śāsti / " Bhoja includes the implied meaning of this jñāpaka and gives the sūtra karma-kartari ca (1.3.104) after the sūtra sārvadhātuke yak (1.3.103).

4. Commentaries on SKĀ
There are three incomplete commentaries on SKĀ – the first one is the Hrdayahārini by Dandanātha Nārāyana Bhatta (either contemporary of Bhoja or 12th century A. D.) and extends only upto ch. VII. Not only the commentary, but also some sūtras are missing in between (see TABLE-III & IV in the next section) The other commentary called Purusakāra is by Krsnalīlāśukamuni(c. 12th century A. D.), the author of the commentary Puruşakāra on the dhātupātha called Daivam. M. Krishnamacharya in his 'History of Classical Sanskrit Literature' mentions his name twice54 and says that in Krsnalīlāśuka's commentary on Bhoja's grammatical treatise, Sarasvatīkanthābharana, Pānini's verses are quoted freely as illustrations. 'A Catalogue of Skt MSS', edited by T. Ganapati Sastri (1921), Vol. VI, mentions at p. 6, No. 35, the commentary Purusakāra (sūtravyākhyā-rūpah) of size 2200 granthas. Probably this
