They are the same ones who are mentioned in the 'Mokshamargasya Netaram Adi Stotra' - they have translated (repeated) the same here. By the phrase 'Sidhe Muniindrasamstuty', they have made it clear that Muniindra (the Sutrakar) composed the Adi Sutra only after praising the Aapta with the aforementioned epithets. We are surprised why the mentions of Vidyānanda, which are not even remotely supportive of the establishment-maker, but are 'Swavadhay Krityotthapan' for them, are being presented.
There is no dispute in the third establishment about the statement that the aforementioned Stotra was written as an interpretation of Atma-Mimamsa. But when that Stotra is attempted to be proven by the mentions of Vidyānanda, which are not even remotely supportive of the establishment-maker's intention, to be the work of Pujyapada-Devanandika, it causes great surprise. The direct and relevant meaning of the word 'Prottanarabhakale' from the Aapta Pariksha is - at the time of the beginning of the effort or at the time of the beginning of the descent. But without accepting this direct meaning, its meaning has been interpreted as 'The meaning of the word 'Uththan' is a book, therefore the meaning of the word 'Prottan' is excellent Uththan, meaning a commentary or interpretation, therefore the meaning of 'Prottanarabhakale' is 'Vyakhyanarambhakale'. The question is how the commentary or interpretation was taken from the excellent knowledge? Because it is not supported by any dictionary or any traditional source. If Vidyānanda wanted to show the aforementioned Stotra as the commentary (Sarvarth Siddhi) of Pujyapada-Devanandika, then he would not have made such an intellectual effort and would not have confused the readers and instead of writing 'Prottanarabhakale', he could have written 'Vyakhyanarambhakale'. Similarly, instead of 'Shastrakaraiah Krtam', he could have given 'Vrittikaraiah Krtam'. This would not have caused any damage to the composition of the verse. But Vidyānanda did not want all this. He undoubtedly considered the aforementioned Stotra to be the Tattvarth Shastra and accepted it as composed by the Shastrakar - not the Vrittikar, and by Shastrakar or Sutrakar, he meant A.
