The arrangement of the material is not very systematic. The first eight of the eighteen saṃskāras are described, the remaining ones are referred to. The yantras, mūṣās and puṭas are not characterized; the substances used in alchemical operations, their varieties, properties, etc., are incidentally described. Several groups of substances and the items belonging to these groups are, however, dealt with in chapter two. The divine herbs are discussed in chapter seven.
