The third section of the book focuses on thumri, dadra, jhoola and kajri compositions, while the fourth and last segment of the book features compositions in ragas created by the author.

Ragas featured in the book range from Yaman, Vachaspati, Shuddh Kalyan, Bihag, Hemant, Malkauns, Kirvani, Kalavati, Bilaskhani Todi and Puriya, to the author's creations such as Renuka, Natwar Malhar. Nandini and Rajat Jayanti.
