Firstly, the subject matter of the **Karma Granthas** is clear in the **Sangati**. That is, firstly, the **Karma Grantha** describes the number of **Mula** and **Uttara Karma Prakritis** and their **Vipaka**. Secondly, the **Karma Grantha** takes each **Gunasthan** and describes the number of **Bandha**, **Upay**, **Udirana**, and **Sattagata Uttara Prakritis** that are possible in it.

And each **Adhikara** respectively describes eight, six, and five subjects, which are indicated in the meaning of the first **Gatha** on page 2 and also in the **Sphuta Note** through the **Sangraha Gathas**.
