Gaṇeśaśāstrin Tarṭe¹⁷³ asserts that the author was an orthodox Hindu. He explains away the Buddha in the additional maṅgala, present in his edition, and relies on the Hinduist references in the work. Kṛṣṇarāvaśarman¹⁷⁴ maintains that the Buddha and the ekavaidya of the two maṅgalas of the Saṃgraha designate the paramapuruṣa, Brahmā. G. Chāṅgāṇī¹⁷⁵ claimed that the ekavaidya of the Saṃgraha is Dhanvantari. G. Hāldār¹⁷⁶ expressed as his view that the ekavaidya and apūrvavaidya designate Rudra, also called Śaṃkara.¹⁷⁷
