Origins
According to some legends[citation needed], he was born in the Katya lineage originating from Vishwamitra, thus[citation needed] called Katyayana.
The Kathāsaritsāgara mentions Kātyāyana as another name of Vararuci, a re-incarnation of Lord Shiva's gana or follower Pushpadanta. The story also mentions him learning grammar from Shiva's son Kartikeya which is corroborated in the Garuda Purana where Kartikeya (also called Kumara) teaches Katyayana the rules of grammar in a way that it could be understood even by children.[4] It may be that his full name was in fact Vararuci Kātyāyana.[5]
