The text has four idiosyncrasies, states Bailey, in that it contains no pancalaksana content, minimal didactic presentation of dharmashastra, the myths are structured as involving Ganesha's intervention in ancient Hindu mythology, and the mythical plots invariably present Ganesha as the life and inner principle of all other Hindu deities.
Bailey identifies four unique characteristics of the text: it is devoid of pancalaksana content, presents dharmashastra in a limited educational way, the myths are structured to feature Ganesha's involvement in ancient Hindu mythology, and the mythological narratives consistently portray Ganesha as the fundamental nature and inner principle of all other Hindu deities.
