The new edition has the same sequence of sections (and their chapters) as the original text, with the same logical progression starting with the [[Sutra Sthana]], covering the basic but generic principles of Ayurveda, right up to [[Siddhi Sthana]], covering the specifics of [[Panchakarma]] (five therapeutic procedures for body purification). Uttar Tantra section would be added subsequently.
