Key features of this book include: detailed contents page providing the reader greater access to text; meaningful chapter titles that guide the reader; instructive subheadings within chapters meant to guide reader; annotations at foot of page to explain foreign ideas or concepts or a few preserved Sanskrit terms; a very short introduction called "Setting the Scene," allowing the reader to jump right into the text; a longer section after the translation of the text called "Understanding the Text"; and, phonetically spelt Sanskrit words and names, and only very limited use of diacritic marks utilized.
