Thanks to all who replied to my query. Your responses provide many useful links for materials relating to the Sarasvatīkaṇṭhābharaṇa grammar. However, the main point of my question remains unaddressed: the question of common authorship.
On reflection, it seems to me that much of the tremendous output attributed to Bhoja may have indeed arisen in his court, but that, as was so often the practice of monarchs in many places, authorship was attributed to the king who was in fact patron and sponsor. I am not aware, however, of work focusing on this sort of "regal authorship" in India and would be interested to know of anything that has been written about it. (If I am not mistaken, there may be some examples in connection with the astral sciences.) Matthew Matthew T.
