The relevant portion of the 3 commentaries may be found here -A few observations -1. All the above mentioned commentators are commenting on the Southern recension.This fact is also confirmed by the editors of the Baroda edition here -2. Commentary by Sri Govindaraja does not seem to touch upon this connection (first link above)
3. Northern manuscripts do not contain this connection. Hence these verses are not part of the Baroda edition and mentioned in foot notes -

Earlier I was cursed by him when I shook Mount Kailasa. He may have assumed the form of a monkey. Or this could be a great demon BaaNa (Nandi is the bull, Lord Shiva's vehicle).'This story (which comes at length in the Skandapurana) is told in the Valmiki Ramayana commentary on these verses. This image can be seen here. Commentaries on Ramayana are: Tilaka, Shiromani, Bhushana.Other related article:Hanuman is Amsavatara of Nandikeshwara - says the SkandapuranaOmImages from Valmiki Ramayana commentary:

>What is crucial for the Advaitin is that Sri Appayya Dikshitar has cited copiously from the Skanda Purana about the entire story of Nandi's curse, etc.Of course, Sri Appayya Dikshita, also being from the Southern part of India, would naturally follow the Southern recension! The same conclusion will also apply too Sri Muthuswamy Dikshita. There are no surprises here.
