However, the language and conceptualization of "Prashamarati" entice one to regard the text as the work of Umasavati. Umaswati refers to the reader as 'Vachaka,' which means 'the one who has expounded from the beginning by distributing the texts of the earlier Vitaraga Acharyas to Umasvati.'
1. The commentator Siddhasena suggests that Prashamarati is the work of the author of commentary, as seen in: "Chatur Praraksharatou (0 20 8) Nenaive n paramanuradesha, varnādigunēṣu bhajaniya:" "Vachakena tvedadeva Sangna Prashamarati (0 80) 35th." 5, 6, and 9 are the commentary verses.
Siddhasena considers both the commentator and the sutrakara to be the same. As mentioned, “Jita Sutra Sanmiveramaom!” —9, 22, p. 253.
"Thus, for the elucidation of the essential truth, according to the commentary of the Umasvati Vachaka, Siddhasena's authored commentary, the seventh chapter regarding the ontology of the Anagaraghara Dharma is described."
– The commentary on the seventh chapter of Tattvartha is connected to the 120th verse of the Prashamarati chapter, stated as "ma mad" in Nishith Churni. The creator of that Churni, Jinadas Mahattara, during the time of Vikram Samvat 8, indicated this in the Churni of the Nandisutra, from which it can be inferred that "Prashamarati is indeed very ancient. Therefore, for the reasons mentioned above, it cannot be claimed that this work belongs to the reader.
2. Previously, there is a description of the fourteen Samvayanga in the Agama. It also mentions the twelfth part called "Drishtivada," which is part of the fifth section. Purvashrat means the teachings given foremost by Lord Mahavira, and there is a traditional belief in the ongoing lineage regarding this. Western scholars conceive that it is related to Bh 0 Pashvanath.
