This, in brief, is the commentary on the sūtras, [given] to the best of [my] understanding.

Sāṃkhyatattvavivecana
The author of the Sāṃkhyatattvavivecana.
The Sāṃkhyatattvavivecana ("Discrimination of the Principles of Sāṃkhya"), composed by the illustrious Ṣimānanda.
This [work] is set forth by Ṣimānanda, son of Raghunandana, a resident of Iṣṭikāpura, foremost among the brāhmaṇas of Kānyakubja.
that very real import of the Sāṃkhya teaching is here being discriminated—by the dull Ṣimānanda, [self-deprecatingly] called "a hundred-fold belly-filler" and the like.
