The book commences with the arrival of Sage Kaundinya in Cambodia, spans the vast complex of Angkor the national capital region of Cambodia for centuries and comes down to the coronation ceremonies of Cambodian monarchs when the Grand Master or Rama-rajya-adhipati hands over the Sacred Sword to the monarch with the mantra "Take, for Thou art the Lightning of Indra".
The second chapter details the Sanskrit inscriptions in Cambodia upto the 12th century. The third chapter is on Cambodian monks who studied Sanskrit with Prof. RaghuVira. The next chapter carries the visit of Prof. RaghuVira to Cambodia, where he studied interesting Sanskrit words. The Ramakirti follows in transcription of the Cambodian original and the English summation of every paragraph, done in collaboration with Bhikkhu Candravarna in 1961.
The sweep of the resplendent simplicity of the Ramakirti is the descent of the divine.
