As the arrangement of topics is
entirely different from Panini’s
order, inspite of considerable resemblance
of Surras and their wording,
it is probable that the work was
based on Papini but composed on
the models of ancient grammarians
viz. Indra, Sakatayana ar.d others
whose works, although not available
now, were available to the author.
The grammar Katantra is also
called Kalapa. A comparison of the
Katantra Sutras and the Kalapa
Sutras shows that the ore is a
different version of the other. The
Katantra Grammar is also called
Kaumara as it is said that the
original instructions for the
grammar were received by the
author from Kumara or Karttikeya.
