The text consists of seven separate and different treatises, of which first three are on medicine, next two on divination, and last two on magical incantations.[1] The three medicinal treatises contain content that is also found in the ancient Indian text called the Caraka Samhita.[2] Treatises I to III are the medical treatises of the collection and contain 1,323 verses and some prose. The metrical writing suggests that the scribe of the three medical treatises was well versed in Sanskrit composition. The scribe of divination and incantation sections (Treatises IV-VII) was not conversant with classical Sanskrit, made grammatical errors and used a few Prakrit words.[3]
