The only commentary on the *Siddhayoga* that has been preserved is the *Vyākhyākusumāvalī*. ¹³⁴ Stray evidence shows that this has not always been the case, for the *Kusumāvalī* contains two references to an earlier commentary, ¹³⁵ and Śivadāsasena’s commentary on the *Cakradatta* quotes Candraṭa’s *Vṛṇdaṭīkā*. ¹³⁶ Furthermore, Āḍhamalla ¹³⁷ cites the author of a *ṭippaṇa* on Vṛnda, whose opinions disagree with those found in the *Kusumāvalī*. Hemādri’s quotations from Vṛnda contain short remarks which impress as being from an unknown commentary. ¹³⁸
