    The author presents a simpler proof of the Donnelly and Fefferman growth bound for eigenfunctions (cf. \textit{H. Donnelly and C. Fefferman} [Invent. Math. 93, No. 1, 161--183 (1988; Zbl 0659.58047)]). Other previous simplifications on the original proof are also described in the present paper. Moreover, new quantitative geometric estimates in terms of curvature bounds are obtained.
