The analysis presented here shows the poet's fondness for the Anustubh and Sārdūlavikrīḍitai metres. A critical examination of the metrical composition of verses in particular, I. 2c, 10c, 13c, 21c, 23a; II. 2c, 3, 4c, 7a, 8a, 11c, 19; III. 11a, 14c, 16c-proves the poet to be only a moderate master of metrics.

XV. The manuscript, as is common, omits the insertion of avagraha sign and fails to observe the rule of parasavarna. The marking of danda and the separation of words are not uniform. These are restored in the edited text. Emendations are suggested in the round brackets at the respective places; additions are indicated in the rectangular brackets. Specific points regarding the text in the manuscript are mentioned in the foot-notes.
The expressions in the present text bear similarity with those in the author's two published works viz. Jaini Saptapadarthi and Sri Jaina Syadvādamuktāvali and with those in Vadidevasūri's Pramananayatattväloka. The relevant references to this are given in the foot-notes.
