The text is considered by the people and the Government of Manipur as the source of the Kanglei Eeyek (Meitei script).[2] The Wakoklon recommends only 18 letters to be used in the Meetei writing system.[3] One of the most important lines written in the text is "Konsen Tuleisengpa Sana Ee Mahi".[4] The text also mentions about the ancestral rituals to please the deities.[5]
