Talk:Tantravārttika
From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia
By Swami Harshananda
The Purvamīmāmsāsutras of Jaimini (200 B. C.) has 2700 sutras spread over 12 chapters containing 60 subsections. The earliest and the most authoritative commentary on it is by Śabarasvāmin (100 B. C.) and is called Śābarabhāsya.
Kumārilabhaṭṭa[1] wrote three works in verses on this Śābarabhāsya out of which the Tantravārttika is the second. It covers the portion 1.2 to the end of chapter 3. It is quite voluminous.
