ज्ञानप्रमोदगणिनिबद्धा
It seems that he has consulted mss. of Vagbbatalankara, not available to us. He consequently gives some readings not found in our 4 mss. However, these readings do not make any vital or glaring change in the interpretation. He has not mentioned his sources though he explains variant readings at 14 places in the tikā.
He writes his comments thus with scrupulous care and traditional scholarship. His great care is also found besides the above, in the Sanskrit version of all the eight Prakrit Karikās given by Vágbhata, in the mention of metre in each Kārikā and so on.
