The same writer has left behind a large commentary on this work. 

 A'nanda, otherwise called Piyadasi, a pupil of Moggallana, has produced an 

 abridgment of his master's work called Padasadhana, which he dedicates 

 to Moggallana under his priestly titles of Sangharakkhita Thera, and 

 Medhankara of Udumbaragiri, (the glomerous jfig tree hill). 



The other and somewhat older school is represented by the grammar 

 ascribed to Sariputta Maha Kachchayana. It is called in Burma the eight- 

 book-grammar of Maha Kissi, and contains 675 aphorisms. In his ' Kac- 

 cayanse Specimen,' [Halle, 1869,] M. Kuhn inserts, between the 13th and 

 14th aphorisms in the third (Karaka) book, an additional one, and the 

 Nyasa introduces into the Karaka book four others, all of which are 

 represented in the Karaka book of the Katantra, though none of them 

 appear in Kachchayana, nor in any commentary upon it. The 675 aphorisms 

 are thus arranged under eight books : —
