[ - § 16 Treatises accessory to Panini have been so great as to credit him, in popular tradition, with their sole authorship. Thus Vimalasarasvati,' a writer not later than the fourteenth century A. D., and Durgasimha who belongs to the early centuries of the Christian era, both assign the authorship of the Uņādi- sūtras to Vararuchi alias Katyayana. The poet Magha, however, seems to look upon the Unādis as belonging to Panini, though his words are not quite explicit. The other works appended to Panini's system pro- bably do not come from him. The Phit-stras are, by unanimous testimony, the work of Santanavächārya, a writer much later than Panini. The Siksha bears on the face of it the stamp of modernness, notwithstanding the fact that a verse from it has found its way into the Maha- bhashya; and the same is true of the Linganuśasana. Regarding the Paribhashas, in addition to those given by Pāṇini in his Ashtadhyayi there may have been others current in Panini's time and tacitly employed by him; but no ancient collection of them has come down to us. The Paribhashas are usually assigned to the authorship of Vyādi who comes between Panini and Patañjali. 1 In the TT, the India Office 4 Compare are on fr Ms. of which is dated 1381 ii. 21, where he remarks-gr A.
