The text primarily cites and collects the evidences of the worship procedures from the Puranas texts Kalika Purana, Devi Purana, Bhavishya Purana, Brahma Purana, and Markandeya Purana. It is the authoritative text for the Maithils community in the subcontinent as the rituals manual dedicated to the worship of Goddess Durga in Mithila.[1][4][5]
