Within the Śākta tradition, the text in question does not possess a single, universally acknowledged classical Sanskrit commentary in the way that some Vaiṣṇava Purāṇas do, yet it has certainly not been neglected. Traditional exegesis tends to be dispersed: Śākta scholars such as Bhāskararāya draw on it extensively, weaving its verses into broader theological and ritual discussions rather than producing a single, line‑by‑line ṭīkā that has become standard across India. In addition, there are partial Sanskrit and vernacular glosses on selected sections, often preserved in particular regional lineages or maṭhas. These local or sectarian materials can be quite rich, but they are not widely available or easily consulted outside those circles. Thus, the “commentarial tradition” around this Purāṇa is best understood as a web of Śākta interpretation rather than a single, dominant commentary.

For those seeking access through English, there is a more clearly defined point of entry. The complete translation by Swami Vijnanananda (also known as Rai Bahadur Srisa Chandra Vasu) is widely regarded as the most authoritative and frequently cited English rendering, and it has been repeatedly reprinted by various traditional and academic publishers. Its language is somewhat old‑fashioned and literal, yet that very literalness has made it a standard reference for both devotional reading and scholarly work. Alongside this, there are numerous modern devotional translations and abridgements that retell key narratives, hymns, and theological passages in more accessible prose. These latter works can be spiritually evocative and helpful for practice, though they generally do not aim at the same philological rigor as the older, complete translation.

From a practitioner‑scholar’s perspective, a layered approach often proves fruitful. The Sanskrit text, especially in widely used editions accompanied by vernacular translations, provides the foundation; the Vijnanananda English translation offers a bridge for those less at home in Sanskrit; and the scattered Śākta exegesis—whether in Bhāskararāya’s writings or in regional glosses—supplies a living interpretive tradition. Together they reveal a scripture that has been read not merely as literature, but as a revelation of the supreme Devī, inviting both careful study and contemplative assimilation.
