It is written in V.S. 1668 = 1612 A.D. in Vatapalli nagar (i.e. present day Palli near Pitan). It contains 14 folios and is written in Tripāth a style (i. e. original text is in the middle and commentary is on the upper and lower side of the folio).

This is a brief commentary on Prasamarati. The commentator himself calls it 'Pragamaratiprakaraṇasya saņkṣepato arthavịttih'. It is really a kind of avacūri and lacks originality of its own. It is completely based on two earlier commentaries and avacūri. All the 313 verse are not commented upon by this commentator. This commentary gives meanings of certain difficult terms. He has commented up to 295 verses that also leaving many verses uncommented in between. Though this commentator includes all the 313 verses of Prasamarati, on account of irregularity of giving verse numbers, we find only 310 verses in the end of this text. This commentator also mentions in the end that Pragamarati cantains only 312 verses (i. e. Pragamaraterāryāśatatrayam dvadasottaram parisamāptamiti) though he includes all the 313 verses.
