Although criticized for its highly Sanskritised language and lengthy metaphysical discussion, it is regarded as a landmark in the development of the experimental novel in modern Gujarati literature.

[1] Spanning 18 chapters, the novel is divided into three sections: Prashnartha (The Question Mark), Pratibhav (The Response), and Niruttar (The Unanswered).

[6] The love triangle between these protagonists serves as an instrument with which to explore existentialism through narrative description of inner and outer experience as the three struggle to come to grips with the meaning of their lives.

Amrita finds a note under her pillow from her bhabi (her brother's wife), informing her that the family regards her friendship with the two young men as socially embarrassing.

There he dictates his final testament, a summing up of his life in which he states that he is not a believer, that love itself is an illusion, but that he feels gratitude to his two friends who, in different ways, have helped him understand himself.

[6] Chunilal Madia wrote in Indian Literature: "[Amrita's] sophisticated social theme, with the usual love triangle, is depicted with unusual skill and insight.

[6][9] Gujarati language poet and critic Chandrakant Topiwala described the novel as making a lasting impact on the reader despite its "abstract, airy thinking and the long metaphysical discussions", saying that the interplay of reflections and reactions between its characters bring alive a story that is otherwise largely uneventful.
