	The manuscript is a compilation of mathematical rules and examples in verse, and prose commentaries on these verses. Generally, a rule is given, with one or more examples, where each example is followed by a "statement" (''nyāsa'' / ''sthāpanā'') of the example's numerical information in tabular form, then a computation that works out the example by following the rule step-by-step while quoting it, and finally a verification to confirm that the solution satisfies the problem.

	The manuscript is a summary of rules and illustrative examples. In the form of problems examples are provided and the solution is described and it is verified that the problem has been solved. The sample problems are in verse and commentary is in prose related with calculations. The problems contains arithmetic, [[algebra]] and geometry including mensuration. The details covered include fractions, [[Parikarmastaka - Fundamental Operations\|square roots]], arithmetic and geometric progressions, solutions of [[Equations\|simple equations,]] [[Equations\|simultaneous linear equations,]] [[Equations\|quadratic equations]] and indeterminate equations of the second degree.
