South, he made Varanasi his home where he prepared a school of learned Grammarians. Although he carried on his work silently in Varanasi, he was envied by the reputed rhetorician of his time Pandita Jagannātha, who criticised his work ( Bhattoji’s work ) named Manorama very severely. See प्रौढमनोरमा above. The Siddhānta- kaumudi has got many comme- ntaries of which the Tattvabodhini written by Bhattoji's pupil Jnane- ndrasarasvati is appreciated much by learned grammarians.

भत्व the nature or quality of being called भ which causes many gram- matical operations which are given together by Panini in VI. 4.129 to 175. See the word भ above.

भरतमल्ल a grammarian of Bengal who lived in the sixteenth century and who wrote उपसर्गवृत्ति, द्रुतबोध and other works on grammar.

भर्गादि a class of words headed by भर्ग which are generally names of countries, the taddhita affixes अण् and others added to which are not elided; e. g. भार्गीं, कैकेयी, काश्मीरी; cf. Kas. on IV. 1.178.

भर्तृहरि a very distinguished Gra- mmarian who lived in the seventh century A. D. He was a senior contemporary of the authors of the Kasika, who have mentioned his famous work viz. The Vakyapadiya in the Kasika. cf. शब्दार्थसंबन्धोयं प्रकरणम् । वाक्यपदीयम् Kas. on P. IV.3.88. His Vyakarana work "the Vakyapa- diya" has occupied a very promi- nent position in Grammatical Lite- rature. The work is divided into three sections known by the name 'Kanda' and it has discussed so thoroughly the problem of the relation of word to its sense that sub-

sequent grammarians have looked upon his view as an authority. The work is well-known for ex- pounding also the Philosophy of Grammar. His another work " the Mahabhasya-Dipika " is a scho- larly commentary on Patanjali's Mahabhasya. The Commentary is not published as yet, and its soli- tary manuscript is very carelessly written. Nothing is known about the birth-place or nationality of Bhartrhari. It is also doubtful whether he was the same person as king Bhartrhari who wrote the 'Satakatraya'.
