A contemporary effort has been made to derive from the sutra in any way that would suit the Digambara tradition, whether by altering the sutra, manipulating its meaning, or through inconsistent interpretations, which is nowhere visible in the commentary. Therefore, it seems clear that the Sarvarthasiddhi was written later in an environment of sectarian opposition; and the commentary is free from this atmosphere of opposition.
This raises the question of how a commentary that is neutral and ancient could belong to the Digambara tradition. The answer is that the author of the Sarvarthasiddhi needed to clearly refute the beliefs of the Svetambara sect, but such a refutation was not present in the commentary. Moreover, the commentary could not primarily serve as a support for the established Digambara tradition and, in many places, was in fact quite contrary to it. Therefore, Pujyapada set aside the commentary and wrote independent critiques on the sutras, thereby making more corrections to the sutra text and clearly establishing the Digambara viewpoints in any matters of disagreement within its explanations. In this endeavor, Pujyapada mainly relied on the texts of Kundakunda.
1. References to clothing are found in the commentary on 9, 7, and 24, and on 10, 7 there is a reference to "through the Tirthakaras."
2. The reason why the sutras where the meanings have been stretched or where coherent descriptions could not be provided, such as in Pulaka, were not removed, seems to be due to the extreme popularity of the sutra text and the fear of accusations about invalidity if they were discarded.
