Vārtikapāṭha (वार्तिकपाठ).—The text of the Varttikas as traditionally handed over in the oral recital or in manuscripts. As observed above(see वार्त्तिक (vārttika)),although a large number of Varttikas quoted in the Mahabhasya are ascribed to Katyayana, the genuine Varttikapatha giving such Varttikas only, as were definitely composed by him, has not been preserved and Nagesa has actually gone to the length of making a statement like "वार्तिकपाठः भ्रष्टः (vārtikapāṭhaḥ bhraṣṭaḥ)" ; cf. Uddyota on P.I.l.I2 Varttika 6.
