The New Catalogus Catalogorum lists various texts under the title, some of which are identified as excerpts from the Pretakalpa of the Garuḍapurāṇa. The authors are mentioned as Dyādu Miśra and Yadhu Miśra, Rudradhara and Chaṭṭu or Choṭu Miśra. The Pretamañjarī of Chaṭṭu Miśra is also given as Pretapaddhati, for which there is evidence of a manuscript in the Darbar Library dated to 1707 CE. The Pretamañjarī by Choṭu Miśra is commented on by Lakṣmī Prapanna written in modern Hindi. According to Jaidev Jani, Sanskrit lecturer at the university Baroda, this ritual manual is spread across northern India from Benares to Maharashtra.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
