This is considered as "The Most Influential Primer of Bengal".[3] The primer had two parts.[note 2] This reflected Vidayasagar's knowledge, expertise and background as a Sanskrit scholar.[4] The success of the first part of the primer inspired Vidyasagar to work on the second part.[5] It remained an important source for teaching Bengali.
