As they travel together, they share numerous stories, covering a wide range of themes, including romance, love, desire, devotion, mythology, dharma, history, worldly knowledge, human nature, professions, pilgrimage, renunciation, and Vedanta.

The final two parts, including the story of Narada, were finished and the second edition was published in 1950 by Kondayya Sastriji, the son of Madhira Subbanna Dikshitakavi.

These stories explore a variety of philosophical themes, including the significance of virtue, the repercussions of immoral actions, and the benefits of associating with virtuous individuals.

[2] The collection features notable historical and mythological figures, including Sri Krishna Devaraya, Bhoja, Sankaracharya, Vikramaditya, and Narada.

The collection received critical acclaim for its engaging storytelling, rich moral lessons, and the seamless blending of mythological and historical elements.
