भागवृत्ति one of the oldest commen- taries on the Sutras of Panini, which, although not available at present, has been profusely quoted by Purusottamadeva and other Eastern Grammarians of the twelfth and later centuries. The authorship of the work is attribut- ed to Bhartrhari, but the point is doubtful as Siradeva in his Pari- bhasavrtti on Pari. 76 has stated that the author of the Bhagavrtti has quoted from Maghakavya
cf. अत एवं तत्रैव सूत्रे भागवृत्तिः पुरातनमुनेर्मुनिता- मिति पुरातनीनेदिरिति च प्रमादपाठावेतौ गतानु- गतिकतया कवयः प्रयुञ्जते न तेषां लक्षणे चक्षुरिति | Some scholars attribute its author- ship to Vimalamati. Whosoever be the author, the gloss ( भागवृत्ति ) was a work of recognised merit
cf. काशिकाभागवृत्त्योश्चेत् सिद्धान्तं वेत्तुमस्ति धी: | तदा विचिन्त्यतां भातभीषावृत्तिरियं मम Bha- savrtti at the end. सृष्टिघर in his commentary on the Bhasavrtti also says " सा हि द्वयोर्विवरणकर्त्री."
