The text is written in Sanskrit with some regional vernacular commentary. It is distinct because it moves away from metaphor and directly into physiology. It describes the Nadis as actual channels and Kumbhaka as the only tool to force Prana into the Sushumna (the central channel).

The author focuses heavily on this specific practice, detailing 47 distinct stages that align with different levels of spiritual development.

It is attributed to the tradition, likely composed between the 17th and 18th centuries CE, though some scholars place it earlier. The text is considered a practical manual (paddhati) rather than a philosophical treatise, distinguishing it from older works like the Hatha Yoga Pradipika or Gheranda Samhita .
