The Sutra text is considered to be the one specifically highlighted; similarly, there is no particular inconsistency in considering the praise at the end of the commentary as stemming from the original sutra author. Nevertheless, the question remains as to whether a commentator who is different from the sutra author can still write anything akin to auspicious verses or praises at the beginning and end of the commentary, especially when presented with the verses and praises composed by the original sutra author. Moreover, assuming they did not write anything from the father either at the beginning or the end, there still remains the question of why the commentator, having elaborated on the sutras, did not elaborate on the verses and the text of praise composed by the sutra author—did they choose to neglect the interpretation of the serious, enchanting, and significant parts at the beginning and end of the sutra text? This question leads us to a certain belief that the commentator is not different from the sutra author, and thus, while composing the commentary, they acknowledged and placed the verses from the father's sutra text at the beginning, and at the end, one may observe the sutras along with printed "Rajvarika." Acharya Digambara Amritachandra also included similar verses in his "Tattvarthasara" with minor modifications. In addition to these ending verses, there are some verses appearing intermittently throughout the commentary with my indicators, such as "iti," and at times without any indication. It is unclear whether those verses belong to the commentator or to others. There is no reliable means to ascertain this. However, considering the language and structure, it seems highly probable that these verses belong to the commentator.
