The book is divided into three chapters along with an introduction and four appendices:
Appendix-A-Index to words, Appendix-B-Index to Sūtras, Appendix-C-Units of Measurement and Appendix-D-Technical Terms.
A Hindi commentary Agnikā and English translation of aphorisms have been provided along with the tables and geometrical figures so that the students as well as the scholars may understand easily the purport of the author of the Sulbasutra.
