Though the name of the author of the commentary is not found in the present MS nor in the MSS described in Ulwar (2230. Extr. 646) and Mad. XV. 7939 it is ascribed to Padmapādācārya in the colophons of another MS of the work belonging to the old collection of the Society (No. III, B. 24). The Sūcipustaka while recording the present MS attributes the work to Jõānasvarūpa.
The commentary has been published in the Tantrik Texts Series of Arthur Avalon (Vols. XVIII-XIX, Calcutta, 1935). The present MS runs up to the 35th chapter of the printed edition.
