Bhaṭṭoji Dīkṣita

Bhaṭṭoji Dīkṣita

Bhattoji Dikshita was a 17th century Mahratta Sanskrit grammarian, author of the "IAST|Siddhānta Kaumudī", literally "firmly established illumination (explanation)".

He was active in a revival of the grammatical methods of Panini, in his work arranging Panini's sutras with a commentary for teaching purposes. It has been described as "an encyclopedia of the opinions and views of the great Sanskrit grammarians of antiquity" (Suryakant Bali).

The work was edited in three abridged versions by his student Varadarāja.
