The subjects in the text are: samavṛtta, ardhasamavṛtta, viṣamavṛtta, āryājāti, vaitālīyajāti, mātrāsamakajāti844. He defines the metres into two groups i.e. vṛtta, (calculated by letters) and jāti, (calculated mātrās). He also tells that the padya has four pādas, and discusses laghu and guru of the varṇas.
