Karaṇakutūhala (करणकुतूहल) is the name of a work by Bhāskara (classified as literature dealing with astronomy, astrology, divination, medicine) of which a commentary is included in the collection of manuscripts at the ‘Vincenzo Joppi’ library, collected by Luigi Pio Tessitori during his visit to Rajasthan between 1914 and 1919.—The Karaṇakutūhala could be a commentary on Bhāskara’s Karaṇakutūhala because it is popular in West and Northwest India (pingree, Jyotiḥśāstra p. 35). This was confirmed by prof. S.R. Sarma who brought supportive evidence and provided invaluable explanations about the contents.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
