 The text is structured as a conversation between a "Guru" (teacher, Agastya) and a "Sisya" (student, Agastya's son Drdhasyu).The style is a mixture of didactic, philosophical and theological treatise, covering diverse range of topics much like Hindu Puranas.The chapters of the Javanese text include the Indian theory of cyclic existence, rebirth and samsara, creation of the world by the churning of the ocean ("samudra manthan"), theories of the Samkhya and the Vedanta school of Hindu philosophy, major sections on god Shiva and Shaivism, some discussion of Tantra, a manual like summary of ceremonies associated with the rites of passage and others.
