Subject -Katantaravistara seems to be a yery profuse commentary on the Katantrasūtras, probably also on Durgācārya's Vrtti on the Katantrasutras. Its object seems to be to supply the omissions and thus make Katantra a perfect system as erudite as the others. For instance in the course of explaining the Sūtra the author launches into a long list of the avyayas and their various significations, extending over nearly 20 pages; and similarly elsewhere. In doing so the author has often to draw upon grammarians of other schools which are collectively designated here as . The Karaka section is divided into four parts: foll. 1-61, 61-85, 85-103, 103-122. In illustrating particular grammatical uses the author gives examples which appear like quotations from different Kavyas etc. though he never mentions any authorities.
