And the Panchasangraha tika has been mentioned. Apart from these texts, no other texts have been mentioned specifically. The Panchasangraha has a clear imprint on many of the verses of the Shataka, in some places only a slight change is found. The author has first discussed the 36th verse of the Shataka according to the opinion of the Panchasangraha and then according to the opinion of the Karma Prakriti. There are some differences of opinion between the Karma Prakriti and the Panchasangraha. The opinion of the Karma Prakriti seems to be ancient, yet in some places the author of the Karmagrantha seems to be inclined towards the opinion of the Panchasangraha. Although he has given both opinions equal space in his text and has presented the Karma Prakriti as evidence in places, he has not refrained from giving the opinion of the Panchasangraha precedence in some places. Therefore, it must be said that he has composed the Shataka based on these two texts in particular.
In this way, some aspects of the Karma Siddhanta have been briefly illuminated in the form of a preface, outlining the text. A special study of the Karma literature in the light of these ideas can provide a good understanding of the Karma Siddhanta. Although the Karma literature appears monotonous to practitioners due to its seriousness, it is very easily understood if its study is gradually increased. For this, it is necessary to have an inquisitive attitude and an indomitable enthusiasm to keep practicing. It is hoped that the readers will study the Karmagrantha keeping the above points in mind.
