Kuṭṭākāraśiromaṇi (कुट्टाकारशिरोमणि) is the name of a work by Devarāja dealing with the subject of “indeterminate analysis of the first degree”, according to the principles of Bījagaṇita (“algebra” or ‘science of calculation’), according to Gaṇita-śāstra, ancient Indian mathematics and astronomy.—On account of its special importance, the treatmeat of this subject [i.e., ‘indeterminate analysis of the first degree’] has been included by Bhāskara II in his treatise of arithmetic also, though it belongs particularly to algebra. It is also noteworthy that there is a work exclusively devoted to the treatment of this subject. Such a special treatise is a very rare thing in the mathematical literature of the ancient Hindus. This work, entitled Kuṭṭākāraśiromaṇi, is by one Devarāja, a commentator of Āryabhaṭa I.
