(6 )Commentary by Rāmapaņivāda (2nd and 3rd quarters of 18th cent. CE), commented only upto 8th chapters of the text i.e. excluding the portion related with Paiśāchi, Māgadhi and Saurasenī. This commentary bears close resemblance with that of Bhāmaha. But there is difference in the division of chapters between the two. Bhāmaha has commented on two more chapters, excluded by Rāmapaņivāda. The latter's commentary is more detailed than that of the former. Pub. With text, Kunnhana Raja, Madras 1946. Mss. Adyar D.
