C. 600-60 A. D. Well-known as Vārttikakāra and commentator on Śābara Bhāṣya on
Mīmāṁsā sūtras. Came after Bhartṛhari, whose Vākyapadīya is q. in Tantravārttika; was a
contemporary of Dharmakīrti, the two presupposing each other. Regarding other Buddhist and Jain
writers and Ku.: He criticises Samantabhadra and Akalaṅka and is in turn criticised by Vidyānanda,
Prabhācandra and Śāntarakṣita. Differed from Prabhākara, a. of Bṛhatī on Śābara Bhāṣya,
the two interpretations of Pra. and Ku. having led to the development of two schools, the
Prābhākara or Gurumata and Kaumārila or Bhāṭṭamata. Was earlier than Śaṅkara. Father of
Jayamiśra, styled Bhaṭṭaputra, a. of a C. on Ślokavārttika (Madras Uni. edn.); Guru of
Umba(ve)ka who is sometimes taken as Bhavabhūti. From his refs. to Dravidian words and South Indian
customs, has been taken to be a South Indian.

Sometimes called ‘Tutātita’ which is just the consonants in the name ‘Kumārila’ substituted by
‘T’; from this ‘Tautātita’ also for ‘Kaumarila’.

On the relative priority of Prabhākara and Ku., see S. Kuppuswami Sastri, ‘Further light on the
Prabhākara problem,’ Proceed. AIOC. III. pp. 474-81 and G. Jha, Pūrvamīmāṁsā in its
sources, pp. 15-17 (1964 edn.). On Ku. and Bud. & Jain writers see K. B. Pathak, ‘The position
of Ku. in Digambara Jaina literature,’ Int. Cong. Ori. IX. 1892, London. Vol. I. pp. 186-214 and

--Cc. Vārttika on Śabara's Bhāṣya on Mīmāṁsā sūtras; in three pts.;

--Ślokavārttika upto I. i. (Tarkapāda) (in verses).

--Tantravārttika I. ii. upto III (in prose).

--Ṭupṭīkā IV. to XII. (in prose).

On Śabara Bhāṣya he wrote three C.s, the Bṛhaṭṭīkā, Madhyamaº and Laghuº, the last alone
being now available in the three parts known as Ślokavārttika etc. as noted above. The first two
are known only through citations. On the Bṛhaṭṭīkā and Madhyamaṭīkā, see K. S. Ramaswami
[Page224-b] Sastri and A. Sankaran, ‘Ku. and Bṛhaṭṭīkā,’ Proceed. AIOC. III. pp. 522 -9; K.

Bṛhaṭṭīkā, Wiener Zeitschrift fur die Kunde sud und Ostasiens VI. 1962. pp. 78-90; Mādhava
Sarasvatī's Sarvadarśanakaumudī, TSS. 135. p. 90 and Hall pp. 170-1; according to
Pārthasārathi Miśra, Bṛhaṭṭīkā is ref. to by Ku. himself in Ślokavārttika on I. i. 5,
Arthāpatti section, verse 5.

Hall p. 184, Laghu vārttika is evidently Ślokavārttika. The q. in the
Īśvarasādhanadūṣaṇa of Ratnakīrti (p. 38, Ratnakīrtinibandhāvalī, Patna, 1957) of
‘Avyuṣṭasāhasrikā’ in the name of Mīmāṁsāvārttikakṛt, along with the Bṛhaṭṭīkā of the
same a. is only another name of Ślokavārttika, the quarter verse q. under this title being Śl. v.
under Codanāsūtra, śl. 62, IVth pāda.

The (Śiva) Mahimnasstava generally known as a work of Puṣpadanta is ascribed to Kumārila
according to a tradition which makes him an incarnation of Lord Kumāra; the same tradition makes
Prabhākara an incarnation of Gaṇeśa and a. of a Gadyastotra on Śiva, both of them having been
sent to earth by Śiva himself to resuscitate Dharma. See Intro. p. xix. Nayaviveka, Madras Uni.
Skt. Ser. and Decayāmātya's C. on Mahimnasstava which narrates this tradition (IO. 7118. MD.
11120).
