ʰṇe� (प्रणेत�) refers to a �(human) author�, according to Appaya’s Śivārkamaṇidīpikā on the Brahmaūٰ 2.2.38.—Appaya does not seem willing to ascribe full ‘vedicness� to Śaivāgamas, as is clear from the following passage in his subcommentary on the same ūٰ: “So it is concluded that the Śaivāgamas follow śܳپ with regard to the various ways of performing [Śiva’s] worship [i.e., ś-ūᲹԲ] and Śiva’s greatness—both [features] not being taught in directly perceivable śܳپ [i.e. the Vedic ṃh]—just like Kalpaūٰs (whose purpose is to expand upon different parts required by the performance of rituals, of which just a few procedures are taught in directly perceivable śܳپ) follow śܳپ with regard to various parts not taught in directly perceivable śܳپ. Therefore, all things taught in the Veda and Śaivāgamas are exactly the same. But the following is the difference: while in [the case of] Kalpaūٰs, it is possible to doubt, with regard to those parts that are contradicted by directly perceivable śܳپ, that the [human] author [i.e., ṇe�] may have committed an error, such doubt is not possible in the case of āgamas insofar as they have Śiva as their author�.
