Built as questions put by Aparājita to Viśvakarma — a dialogue form that records what apprentices actually needed to ask.

The text is western Indian and strongest on ornament, mouldings and the articulation of the temple wall, with a level of detail on profile and carving that the systematic treatises pass over quickly.

Because it answers questions rather than laying out a syllabus, it is the best source for the craft reasoning behind decisions the other texts simply state.
