सर्ववर्मन् spelt as शर्वबर्मन् also, the re- puted author of the Katantra Vyakarana. He is believed to have been a contemporary of the poet Gunadbya at theSatavahana court, and to have revised and redacted the Katantra Sutras already exist- ing for the benefit of his patron. With him began the Katantra school of grammar, the main con- tribution to which was made by दुर्गसिंहृ who wrote a scholarly gloss on the Katantra Sutras. For details see कातन्त्र,
