Bhaskara (Kashmiri)

Bhaskara was a notable writer from the Kashmir Shaivism sect of Hinduism. He wrote an important commentary, the Varttika, on the Shiva Sutras of Vasugupta.[1] According to Dyczkowski, "We know nothing about him except that he was the son of one Divakarabhatta and was, therefore, like the other Kashmiri Saiva authors, a Brahmin by caste, as Bhatta was a title bestowed to learned Brahmins in Kashmir at that time" (p. 2[1]).
