This present text represents a significant improvement over the two previously published texts of Vrttivarttika. The novelty of the present edition, aside from correcting many errors found in its predecessors, lies in a careful comparison of the two previous editions, and their collation with still another manuscript, from the Houghton Library at Harvard University, Indic no. 1268. This volume includes commentary, transliterated Sanskrit text and notes.
