According to the Shrutavatar of Indra Nandi many glosses and commentaries were written on Kasaya prabhrit. First of them was the Churni Sutra of Yati Vrishabhacharya. On these Churni Sutras was written a gloss known as Uchcharana Vritti by Uchcharanacharya. It was followed by one more Uchcharana Vritti written by Bappadevacharya.
