The verses on nidāna are in many cases few in number or, in rare cases, even absent.⁴⁶³ The majority have been borrowed from the Mādhavanidāna, either referred to by name or not;⁴⁶⁴ a minority are from other sources, some of which mentioned by name.⁴⁶⁵ The verses on therapy are arranged in such a way that the rasayogas follow upon āyurvedic prescriptions. Religious therapy and magic are also represented, especially in the chapters on masūrikā (67), sūtīkāroga (75), and bālaroga (77).
