There have been Eight known commentaries on Dwadasa Stotra :
Gangodamishra, Gûdhakartrka, Chalari Narasimhacharya, Channapattana Thimmannacharya,  Umarji Tirumalacharya, C M Padmanabhacharya, 
Punyashravana Bhikshu, Sri Vishwapati Tîrtha
This small effort from this humble self is a Kaanike at the feet of Shrimad Ananda Theertha Muni . Done with very little formal shaastra pata or formal Sanskrot education.  ShrimadAcharaya, for reasons unknown to me has chosen this novice to articulate a different view of his slokas. 
It is very fortuitous that this commentary is concluding on Madhwa Navami day

The whole stotra set is melodiously sung by Shri Vidyabhooshana
