Style of writing and method of exposition:
The style of a work is the voice of words uttered by its author producing an effect on the feelings of the readers by its action working upon their conscious minds. It may be both personal and impersonal. The style of the Rasaratna Samuccaya used by its author, Manikyadeva Sūri in presentation of its contents and in dealing with its subject-matter is mainly of one character, viz. poetry. It begins with the metre of poetry in composing its verses in all its three chapters with some commentaries.
