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).

Dear Pranav,

Thanks for sharing the information about this Ms. Earlier I came across a printed version of this commentary here <https://archive.org/details/lTxD_ashtavakra-gita-with-tika-by-vishveshvar-very-old-mumukshu-bhavan-collection/mode/2up>. 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.

    Apropos to your request for Sanskrit commentaries on Aṣṭāvakra Gītā,
    I wonder if Viśveśvara’s commentary in Ms. Coll. 390 will be useful.

    Dear list members,
    Creepy things are still happening from Academia.edu on my gmail account.
    A whle ago I had noticed too many postings from Academia.edu related
    to the
    topics of email conversations I had been having so I cancelled it, but I
    then re-instated it.

    These conincidences keep happening.

    I just received the latest posting by Mrinal Kaul to the indology
    list,  a
    half hour later Academia.edu sent me "PDF by Mrinal Kaul,  Review: The
    ??varapratyabhij??k?rik? of Utpaladeva".
