produced at four different places, the last kind being audible to us; cf. प्राणो वणीनभिव्यज्य वर्णेष्वेवोपलीयते Vak- yapadiya I.116;cf. also R.Pr.XIII. 13, V.Pr. I.7-9; T.Pr.II.2: Siksa of Panini st. 6. वारणावतेश a grammarian of the seventeenth century who wrote a gloss named अमृतस्त्रुति on the Pra- kriya-kaumudi. वाररुच a work attributed to वररुचि; cf. वाररुचे काव्यम् M. Bh.on P. IV.3.101; cf also वाररुनो ग्रन्थः S.K.on P.IV.3. 101. This work possibly was not a grammar work and its author also was not the same as the Varttikakara Katyayana. See वरुरुचि above. The name वाररुचव्याकरण was given possibly to Katyayana's Prakrit Grammar, the author of which was वररुचि surnamed Katya- yana. For details see p.395 Vyaka- rana Mahabhasya Vol. VII. D. E. Society's Edition. वाररुचकारिका an ancient grammar- work in verse believed to have been written by an ancient scholar of grammar, who, if not the same as Katyayana who wrote the Varttikas, was his contemporary and to whom the authorship of the Unadi Sutras is ascribed by some scholars. See वररुचि. वार्त of no use; serving no purpose; the word is possibly derived from वार्ता (लेकवाती) meaning people's gossip; cf एतच्च वार्तम् M.Bh.on P.I.2. 64 Vart. 25; also on P. II.2.24, II. 4.13 etc. वार्त्तिक a statement which is as much authoritative as the original statement to which it is given as an addition for purposes of correction, completion or ex- planation. The word is defined by old writers in an often-guoted |
verse उक्तानुक्तदुरुक्तनां चिन्ता यत्र प्रवर्तते | तं ग्रन्थं वार्तिकं प्राहुर्वार्तिकज्ञा मनीषिण:|This de- finition fully applies to the varttikas on the Sutras of Panini. The word is explained by Kaiyata as वृत्तौ साधु वार्त्तिकम् which gives strength to the supposition that there were glosses on the Sutras of Panini of which the Varttikas formed a faithful pithy summary of the topics discussed. The word varttika is used in the Mahabhasya at two places only हन्तेः पूर्वविप्रविषेधो वार्तिकेनैव ज्ञापितः M.Bh. on P.III. 4.37 and अपर आह् यद्वार्त्तिक इति M.Bh. on P. II.2.24 Vart. 18. In अपर अहृ यद्वार्त्तिक इति the word is contrasted with the word वृत्तिसूत्र which means the original Sutra (of Panini ) which has been actua- Ily quoted, viz. संख्ययाव्ययासन्नाo II.2. 25. Nagesa gives ' सूत्रे अनुक्तदुरुक्तचि- न्ताकरत्वं वार्तिक्रत्वम् as the definition of a Varttika which refers only to two out of the three features of the Varttikas stated above. If the word उक्त has been omitted with a pur- pose by Nagesa, the definition may well-nigh lead to support the view that the genuine Varttikapatha of Katyayana consisted of a smaller number of Varttikas which along with a large number of Varttikas of other writers are quoted in the Mahabhasya, without specific names of writers, For details see pages 193-223 Vol. VII Patanjala Mahabhasya, D.E. Society's Edi- tion. वार्त्तिककार believed to be Katyayana to whom the whole bulk of the Varttikas quoted in the Maha- bhasya is attributed by later grammarians. Patanjali gives the word वार्तिककार in four places only (in the Mahabhasya on P.I.1.34, III.1.44: III.2.118 and VII.1.1) out of which his statement स्यादि- |
