For a description of this Rahasya commentary see L. 1202. It ends abruptly :

This is an elementary treatise on the amalgamated Nyāya-Vaiseșika system, complete in 12 leaves. After the mangalācarana, the author says:
अक्षपादं मुनिं नत्वा कणादश्च ततः परं।
लौगाक्षिणा भाखरेण तन्यते तर्ककौमुदी । तत्राभिधेयाः पदार्थाः etc.
This work is based on Vaišeşika, but its logical portion is based upon Nyāya. The Vai eşikas admit two pramāņas only, but the amalgamated system admits four.
तच्च प्रमाणं विविधम्-प्रत्यक्षानुमानभेदात्। शब्दादेश्चानुमान
विधयैव प्रामाण्यमिति वैशेषिकमतम्। चतुर्विधमिति नैयायिकाः । The work is printed, ed. M. N. Dvivedi, BSS. 32. 1886, N.S. Press, Bombay, 1914; trans. E. Hultzsch, ZDMG. LXI. 763ff,
