[INDOLOGY] INDOLOGY Digest, Vol 590, Issue 1

Fri Apr 7 14:34:04 UTC 2023

Check the NCC, where you will learn that while there are several 
commentaries, only Viśveśvara's was apparently popular, as it is 
preserved in a large number of manuscripts (and has been published 
several times).

But given the popularity of the /Aṣṭāvakra Gītā/, this commentary did not come across as pedagogically robust. It is hard for me to believe that this text did not attract the attention of erudite Sanskrit commentators in pre-modern South Asia. I will keep my eyes open. Thanks. Regards.
