The work is described in Kane HDhŚ vol. 1, p. 36. Kane mentions an edition in Mysore (GOL Series), but this is nevertheless a rare work, the oldest commentary on Gautama (the Mitākṣara by Haradatta is later). Kane dates the author to the 10th or 11th century (900-1100). Quotes from many lost Smṛtis, or earlier Bhāṣyas on Gautama. Note that the library also has a copy of Gautama's Dharmasūtra (B-0205).
