[COMMENTARY TAKEN OVER FROM GAUDIYA GRANTHA MANDIRA: This is an interesting text. There appear to be many original verses sprinkled throughout the text, many of which are incomplete. Some of the verses don't follow any regular meter and some work is needed to edit this text. Some verses are likely quotes, but I haven't been able to trace them.

I have used Haridas Shastri's edition, and have not had access to another. It would be worth finding other manuscripts in order to produce a true critical edition.]
