There are variations in interpretations of this scripture. Siddhasena's interpretation states that the assertion made about the scripture is not correct. Some have questioned why a singular sutra is not formulated for "Munyan wi nivāḥ" which lacks a distinct voice. Vidyananda remarks that the sutras were constructed for clear understanding.
2 Sisena claims that this scripture is divided into two parts: 'Eternally existing forms' and 'Akhya.' He has also referred to 'Nityavastasthita Pāli' and mentioned other interpretations such as 'Nimnaavayitānyā.' Furthermore, he noted that he interprets 'Nityapad' as an adjective for 'Avasthita.' These interpretations should be consulted for differing views on the explanation of this sutra.
