Karika bhasya means versified commentaries. Commentary is written in the form of verses.
Normal bhasya contains prose mainly.
Examples of Karika bhasyas:
Madhvacarya has two versified commentaries on the Brahma-sutras. 1. In the Anubhasya, he summarized each of the four chapters in seven verses. 2. In the Anuvyakhyana, he commented on most of the text in 1,920 verses, yet he skipped many sutras.
Brahma Sutra Karika Bhasya by Baladeva Vidyabhusana. He explains all the 552 sutras in
750 verses, most of them in anustup (32 syllables). Some aphorisms are glossed with a
quarter of a verse (pada), while others are more elaborately commented in several verses.
