INTRODUCTION.
svâmin, son of Mallinâtha in his Ratnâpana.* Mr. Bhattanâtha Swâmin states in his paper on Trivikrama that the Sûtras are quoted by Kâtayavema in his commentary on Abhijñânas'âkuntala; but most of those quoted are from Hemachandra's work and some from the grammar of Vararuchi whom he names in some places.t
Mr. Bhattanatha Swâmin in his paper mentioned above arrives at a decisive conclusion that the Sûtras commented upon by Lakshmîdhara, Simharâja, and Trivikrama are not the production of Vâlmîki, but that of Trivikrama himself. His conclusion is based upon the following grounds. I shall give my views on each of them and show how weak it is :
* The following Sûtras are quoted there:para ecq: Vide p. 8 of my edition of the

Similarly, those on pp. 9, 10, 11, 27, 35, 36, 38, 97, 123, 125. "तइतुन्तेतुम्हतुहतुहंतुवतुम-इत्यादिसूत्रेण ङसि तुमतुज्झतुम्हा इति । वररुचि
