Dr. Pitambar Datt Barthwal, Abodh Bandhu Bahuguna and Dr Vishnu Datt Kukreti apart from Dr Shiva Nand Nautiyal , Dr Govind Chatak and Mohan Babulkar are mainly credited to provide description of Mantra and Tantra of Garhwal-Kumaun . However, Dr Vishnu Datt Kukreti provided full knowledge about Mantras in Garhwal and Abodh Bandhu Bahuguana provided lterature in historical aspects of Garhwali literature

Dr Vishnu Datt Kukreti wrote about Samain in his classical book Nathpanth : Garhwal ke Parpeksh men and Abodh Bandhu Bahuguna published the whole Mantras of Samain in Kaunli Kiran

As far as manuscript of Samain is concerned Dr Kukreti describes that the size of manuscript is 20x12 centimeter . There are ten lines in each page and in quite a few pages, there are eleven lines of mantras The manuscript is of 53 pages.

The booklet is devided into three parts Yantr Vidhaan, Samin Vidya and Dhamdev ki Ker
