The commentary on the work says that it is a Pali version of the medical science derived from the tradition of Mahābramaḥ, Dakṣa, Prajāpati, etc., and expounded in the Yogārṇava, Cintāmaṇisannaya, Yogaratnākara, etc. The major part of the verses on nidāna are actually drawn from the Aṣṭāngahṛdaya,61 which is, in general, the most important source, besides the Carakasamhitā, Suśrutasamhitā, Siddhasāra, Mādhavanidāna, Cakradatta, and Vaṅgasena.62 Among less well known sources are the Assinasamhitā,63 Bindusāra, Bhāradvājīya, Kumārasamhitā, Mahāyāna, Nārāyaṇīya, and Tikicchāmata.64
