The text, written in verse in Sinhalese language, contains valuable information for identifying various diseases and medical recipes, based on the Buddhist traditional medicine.

The text on the back mentions, that this is the first time the text was published in a printed form. The author of this version was Rathanasaratissa Therunnanse, probably from Sri Lanka, and the text was edited by his student Doctor Mahananda Martino Silva.
