Different portions of it, such as nipatas, avyayas, and upasargas have been individually explained by various writers, and Kshirasvamin, as we saw, is reported to have written a Gaṇavritti, which is no longer extant. The only complete work on the Ganapatha is the Ganaratna- mahodadhi, which is a metrical arrangement of the Galas followed by a lucid commentary, both composed by Var- dhamana in A. D. 1140. 38.

Of these the first is probably not the same as the cele- brated patron of Bana, while the second may or may not be identical with the great Mimänsäkära. Vararuchi is another name for Katyayana, and even if these be consi- dered as different, so many late and spurious works are assigned to this great name that it well-nigh difficult to determine the genuineness of any one of them.
