uparasa varga etc. are found at the middle of the text which seems uncoordinated.
• Therapeutic uses of material other than Parada are hardly available.
• Very limited description of yantra and musha are available in the text.
• The text is hardly having any opinion for the future trend of the system and
eccentric about the alchemical use.

Clinically less oriented
– Hardly contributes
one chapter for

Feasible procedures –
Ashta samskaras are
dealt in simple
procedures
