Ślokavārttika
From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia
By Swami Harshananda
Kumārila Bhaṭṭa[1] was the senior contemporary of Śaṅkara.[2] He was a great scholar of Mīmānsā Darśana and struggled throughout his life to fight Buddhism and re-establish Vedic religion. He wrote an independent exposition on the Sābarabhāsya[3] in three parts. The Ślokavārttika is the first and deals with the philosophical portion of Śabara’s work as contained in the first chapter of the first book known as the Tarkapāda.
