Others believe that Gonarda was the name of the district named Gonda at present The expression गोनर्दीय आह (gonardīya āha) occurs four times in the Mahabhasya where it refers to a scholar of grammar in Patafijali's time; cf M.Bh. on I. 1.21 ; I. 1.29; III. I.92; VII. 2.101. As Kaiyata paraphrases the words गेनर्दीयस्त्वाह (genardīyastvāha) as भाष्यकारस्त्वाह (bhāṣyakārastvāha), scholars say that गेीनर्दीय (geीnardīya) was the name taken by the Mahabhasyakara himself who was a resident of Gonarda. Hari Diksita, however, holds that गोनर्दीय (gonardīya) was the term used for the author of the . Varttikas; cf. Brhacchabdaratna.
