The text seems to suggest that the writing conveys that this small commentary was compiled by various authors, which is why it has become somewhat of a narrative. A comparison with the "Sarvārthasiddhi" and "Rājavārttika" makes it clear that the clarity of expression, the elaboration of the composition, and the differentiation of meanings present in the "Sarvārthasiddhi" and "Rājavārttika" are not found in the "Siddhasenī" commentary. There are two reasons for this: one is the difference in nature between the authors, and the other is the dependency in the composition. Both the author of "Sarvārthasiddhi" and the author of "Rājavārttika" perform their own analysis independently. Siddhasena had to depend on the text of the commentary, following it verbatim. Given this distinction, two points are noted while observing the "Siddhasenī" commentary comprehensively. First, the philosophical capability of the "Siddhasenī" commentary is not lacking when compared to the "Sarvārthasiddhi" and "Rājavārttika." Despite the differences in methodology, the discussion of logic, Vaisheshika, Samkhya, Yoga, and Buddhist philosophies in this commentary is comparable to those two texts. The second point is that while Siddhasena engages in philosophical and logical discussions, he ultimately establishes the Agam tradition firmly, similar to Jinabhadra Ganin Kshamashramana, demonstrating his extensive study of the Agamas. It appears that by Siddhasena's time, many commentaries on Tattvārtha had already been composed. In some places, while detailing the commentary on a single sutra, he indicates five to six differing viewpoints. This suggests that at the time Siddhasena wrote the commentary, he likely had at least five commentaries on Tattvārtha in front of him. The robust style of thought and language related to the subject of Tattvārtha in Siddhasena's commentary indicates that prior to this commentary, substantial literature related to Tattvārtha had been written in the Shvetambara sect and had also seen growth.
