A good understanding of this can be easily gained from a comparative study of these commentaries, and therefore there is no need to elaborate on this topic here. Scholars who have studied these commentaries from a comparative perspective themselves acknowledge that there is a great disparity between the two. Pandit Vanshidharji Shastri, while editing the *Pramayamaalamartaanda*, has also written in its 'Upaddhaat' that the composition of this commentary is 'visadrushi' (different) from the composition of the *Pramayamaalamartaanda* - it does not have any similarity or correspondence with it. In such a situation, knowledgeable readers can themselves understand that when there is so much disparity between these commentaries, how can these three commentaries be created by the same person. And at the same time, they can also experience that if this commentary had been created by a mature scholar-acharya like the author of the *Pramayamaalamartaanda* etc., then it would definitely have some special qualities like the *Pramayamaalamartaanda* etc. - at least it would have taken up a good discussion of Shravak Dharma, which makes it appear almost empty at present. And at the same time, it would not have most of the errors that have been pointed out earlier. As far as we have examined the literature of this commentary, it does not appear to us to be created by Prabhachandracharya, the author of these *Pramayamaalamartaanda* etc.; its composition seems to have taken place much later than the composition of the *Pramayamaalamartaanda* etc. - after many centuries. This is clarified below with some specific evidence.
1. In this commentary, at one place, below the verse 'Navapunyai: Pratipatti:' etc., on the occasion of the explanation of the word 'Saptagunasamahitena', a verse is found quoted as follows:
* Yatha - 'Ratnakarandakabhidhasya Shrisamantabhadriyasravakacharyasya Brihatsvayambuustotrasya, Samadhishatakasya cha upari vivaranani ShriPrabhachandrenaiva vinirmitanani santi kintu tesham praneta sa eva apara va Prabhachandrastadanantaralabdhajanmeti na paryate'vadharayitumalam tathaapi pramayamaalamartaandapeckshya tavrittinam rachnatarangabhango visadrushiti vaktumutshe.'
