The poem consists of 14 ''padams''. The first padam has the poet telling readers that he is writing the poem at the request of Antonio Pimental, [[Archbishop]] of Cranganore, since Pimental held the ecclesiastical office from 1721 to 1752. The second padam tells Centre on Fall of Man, fourth padam ([[Annunciation]]), fifth padam ([[Nativity of Jesus|Nativity]]), seventh padam ([[Sermon on the Mount]]), tenth padam ([[Last Supper]]), eleventh padam (Trial and [[Crucifixion]]), 12th padam, portraying the lament of [[Virgin Mary]] at the [[Crucifixion]] and [[Death of Jesus]], 13th (Resurrection) and 14th (Ascension). The 12th padam is considered the most important in the poem. But for the 12th 'padam' that is written in the metre, Nathonatha, the rest of the couplets are written in the metre, Sarpini. He also authored ''Chathuranthyam'', ''Genevieva Punyacharithram'' and ''Ummaadaey Dhukhkham''.<ref>{{cite web <br />
