Bhatta Kallata

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bhatta Kallata also referred as Kallata was a notable 9th-century Kashmiri Shaivite thinker who may have written the Spanda-vritti, and Spanda-karika.[1][2]

He was a pupil of Vasugupta, another possible author of the Spanda-karika. According to Rajatarangini (The River of Kings) written in 12th-century CE by Kalhana, he lived during the reign of Avanti Varman (855-883 CE).[3]
