Digambar aur Śvetambar dono sampradayon mein is stotra ki prashansā hoti hai, lekin anuvād (verses) ki sankhya thodi alag hoti hai: Digambaron ke hisaab se 48 shloka, Śvetāmbaras ke hisaab se 44 shloka. is antar ki waja text ke kuch vyakhya ya anuranan (verses) me alag-jod ki gayi ya interpolate ki gayi baat hoti hai.
