Śivadāsasena’s commentary is in general based on Cakrapāṇidatta’s Āyurvedadīpikā, but he deviates from it repeatedly, which makes the work interesting and valuable. He refers to the views of his father, Anantasena, who was his teacher in āyurveda, adds quotations to those found in the commentary by Cakrapāṇidatta, and cites, since he is later than Cakrapāṇi, commentators like Aruṇadatta and Vijayarakṣita.
