began, he had to abandon his work in the middle. The commentary of Kaiyata is such a scholarly one and so written to the point, that later commentators have almost identified the original Bhasya with the commentary Pradipa and many a time expressed the two words Bhasya and Kaiyata in the same breath as भाष्यकैयटयोः ( एतदुक्तम् or स्पष्टमेतत् ). महाभाष्यदीपिका a very learned old commentary on the Mahabhasya of Patanjali written by the reput- ed grammarian Bhartrhari or Hari in the seventh century A. D. The commentary has got only one manuscript preserved in Ger- many available at present, of which photostat copies or ordi- nary copies are found here and there. The first page of the manuscript is missing and it is incomplete also, the commentary not going beyond the first seven Aahnikas. For details see page 383 Vol. VII Vyaakarana Maha- bhasya D. E. Society's edition. महाभाष्यप्रदीप a very scholarly com- mentary on Patanjali's Mahabha- Sya written by Kaiyatabhatta in the eleventh century, The com- mentary has so nicely explained every difficult and obscure point in the Mahabhasya, and has so thoroughly explained each sen- tence that the remark of later grammarians that the torch of the Mahabhasya has been kept burning by the Pradipa appears quite apt and justified. Kaiyata's commentary has thrown much additional light on the original arguments and statements in the Mahabhasya. There is a learned commentary on the Pradipa written by Nagesabhatta which |
is named 'vivarana' by the author but which is well known by the name 'Uddyota' among students and teachers of Vyakarana. For details see pp. 389, 390 Vol VII, Patanjala Mahabhasya, D. E. So- ciety's Edition. महाभाष्यप्रदीपटीक name given to each of the various commentaries on the Pradipa of Kaiyata written by gra- mmarians, out of which the com- mentaries of चिन्तामणि, रामचन्द्रसरस्वती, नारायण, नित्यानन्दपर्वतीय and one or two more are available in a man- uscript form and those too quite incomplete. महाभाष्यप्रदीपप्रकाश called also कैयटप्र- काश, name of the commentary on the Pradipa of Kaiyata by Nilan- kanthamakhi a versatile writer of the 17th century. महाभाष्यप्रदीपविवरण (!) original name of the learned commentary on the 'Pradipa' of Kaiyata written by Nagesabhatta, a stalwart and epoch-making grammarian of the 18th century. The commentary is known popularly by the name 'Uddyota' or Pradipoddyota; (2) name of the commentary on Kaiyata's Pradipa by Nityaananda Parvatiya. The commentary is also known by the name दीपप्रभा. महाभाष्यलघुवृत्ति name given to the short gloss on the Mahabhasya written by the famous eastern grammar-scholar Maitreya-Rak- sita of the twelfth century. महाभाष्यव्याख्या name given to each of the explanatory glosses on the Mahabhasya written by gram- marians prominent of whom were Purusottamadeva, Narayana Sesa, Visnu, Nilakantha and others whose fragmentary works exist in a manuscript form. |
