Śivadāsasena repeatedly employs the term *vṛndaṭippaṇī* or *-ṭippaṇikā* when he refers to the *Vyākhyākusumāvalī*.⁵⁵ This illustrates that the terms *ṭippaṇa*, etc., were used both to denote short remarks by a compiler like Vṛnda, and comments by a later author on the work of a predecessor, like, for example, the *Lakṣmaṇaṭippaṇaka* on the *Suśrutasaṃhitā*, quoted by Ḍalhaṇa.⁵⁶
