A , in Indian linguistics and philosophy, is a person who wrote a critical commentary or a gloss on a given grammatical or philosophical work.
Monier Williams Dictionary defines Vārttikakāra as a composer of vārttikas. A vārttika is defined as a single remark or a whole work attempting to present a detailed commentary. The word vārttik- derives from, either in the sense of 'the turning of sūtra-formulation into a fully worded paraphrase' or, in the sense of 'procedure '. According to the Indian tradition, the purpose of a vārttika is to enquire into what has been said, what has not been said, and what has not been said clearly.Famous Vārttikakāras
