Usually the authors mention their names, parentage etc. in the colophon of their works. But there are certain works in which, the author leaves no impression of his identity. The Vṛttabheda-saṅgraha is mentioned in the “New Catalogus Catalogorum” XXXI. p. 7.

2) Vṛttabhedasaṅgraha (वृत्तभेदसङ्ग्रह) is the name of a work ascribed to Nṛsiṃha related to the topics of Sanskrit prosody (chandas) but having an unknown period of composition.

2) Nṛsiṃha introduces his text (the Vṛttabhedasaṅgraha) with the view that the whole prosody is divided into two viz. Vaidika and Laukika and the later again divided into two namely mātrā and varṇa. He acknowledges his pain for composing the work and urges the august mass to be pleased by reading this.
