He served as a professor of Sanskrit at Scottish Church College in Calcutta and later at the Sanskrit College. Bhattacharyya's research was particularly focused on the Paippalāda-Saṃhitā of the Atharvaveda, where his painstaking efforts in unearthing and editing rare manuscripts from Orissa and Bengal were hailed as an epoch-making discovery in the Indological world.
