The work deals in three parts with the details of the rites in connection with the worship of Kārtavirya.
The present MS contains the first three chapters of the second part of the work while MSS containing the first nine chapters of the first part and the last three chapters of the third part are found respectively in the India Office (IO. IV. 2595) and the old collection of the Society (No. I. E. 54).
Several other chapters (containing the verses found mutatis mutandis at the end of each chapter of the work), not identified heretofore, are found scattered in different places. Thus the old collection of the Society contains MSS of the last chapter of Book II as also the first and second chapters of Book III (I. E. 52 and III. D. 65). MSS of the first chapter of the last book have been described in ASB. III. 2412 and Nep. II, p. 141.
A long list of contents is found at the end of MS No. I. E. 54 in a very corrupted form. It is quoted below with minor corrections here and there :
