  1. The Nirukta—Its Recensions

    Bishnupada Bhattacharya · The Indian Historical Quarterly, 1949

    “‘the Nirukta text has undergone much interpolation and that two distinct recensions are discernible amidst पीट extant texts of the Nirukta—the one longer and the other shorter, the latter being the basis of Durga’s commentary.”
  2. The Authorship of Nighantu

    Chamupati · The Indian Historical Quarterly, 1927

  3. The Nirukta and the Theory of Transmigration

    H. G. Narahari · The Indian Historical Quarterly, 1945

  4. Reviews

    Sushil Kumar De, Batakrishna Ghosh, D. Bhattacharya · The Indian Historical Quarterly, 1931

  7. Niruktavarttika—a lost Treatise

    Bishnupada Bhattacharya · The Indian Historical Quarterly, 1950
