Kaunda Bhatta wrote the Vaiyakaranabhusana and the Vaiyakaranabhusanasara in the first half of the 17th century. The latter work, as the title itselfindicates, is an epitome of the former. Both the works are fo teh nature of commentaries on the vaiyakaranasiddhantakarika, whose authorshop is traditionally attributed to Bhattoji Diksita, the uncle of Kaunda Bhatta, and this traditons is confirmed by MSS No. 1484-1486 preserved at the Oriental Library, Madras. (See Studies in Indian Literary History, Vol. III, pp. 13-14).
Bhattoji's Vaiyakaranasiddhantakarika contains 72 verses which embody the essence of the philosophical doctrine pro-pounded by sanskrit Grammarians. In fact, several of these karikas even represent the views which had been put forth several centuries after the composition of the Vakyapadiya.
Kaunda Bhatta cannot claim any originality for the semantic concept which he has set forth in the Vaiyakaranabhusanasara. For the most part, he relies on the older authorities. His chief merit lies in the fact that he awakened fresh interest in the study of the Vakyapadiya at a time when the philosophy of Sanskrit grammar was being practically neglected and had almost dwindled. Thus, Kaunda Bhatta may be said to have rejuvenated the philosophical system of grammar. Although he claims that his teaching is based on Patanjali and Bhartrhari, it appears to me that his work departs from the line of thought associated with those celebrated grammarians.
