Anuṭīkā (Pali: Anuṭīkā; lit. "Sub-sub-commentaries") are scholastic treatises composed by learned monks to further clarify or elaborate upon the existing ṭīkā (sub-commentaries).[1] These texts are regarded as the fourth tier of canonical exegesis, following the Tipiṭaka (Pāli Canon), Aṭṭhakathā (commentaries), and Ṭīkā (sub-commentaries). Sub-sub-commentaries (anuṭīkā) are generally classified as part of the ṭīkā (subcommentary) category. When an anuṭīkā is written, the original ṭīkā it comments on is sometimes referred to as a mūlaṭīkā (root subcommentary). For example, the Dhammasaṅgaṇī-mūlaṭīkā comments on the Dhammasaṅgaṇī-aṭṭhakathā (the Atthasālinī), and it is in turn further commented on by the Dhammasaṅgaṇī-anuṭīkā. In some cases, the term Abhinava-ṭīkā (lit. “new sub-commentary”) is used interchangeably to denote these works.[2]

The authors of these texts, known collectively as Anuṭīkācariya (sub-sub-commentators), rarely identified themselves as explicitly as earlier commentators. Later scholars refer to them collectively as “Anuṭīkācariya,” acknowledging their role as refined Pali scholars who elucidated the meanings of the commentaries and sub-commentaries in a systematic and linguistic manner.[3]

Anuṭīkās are divided into three categories, corresponding to the three divisions of the Tipiṭaka:
