The traditions contains the rituals and practices required for Paxists which govern many aspects of their lives and forms the basis for Paxist canon law:
# Diet: Contains restrictions on what animals can be consumed specifically prohibiting cannibalism, consumption of dead animals, blood, insects, certain birds, predators and scavengers and reptiles, also provides instructions on cleaning, storing and preparing food.
# Prayer: Contains instructions for how frequently Paxists should pray, how they are to clean themselves before praying, where they are allowed to pray, what are they are meant to say and where to face (the Memorial of the Jovian Gate or the east if one does not know the location).
# Worship and gathering: Stipulates that Paxist must gather once a week on the Day of Rest (usually Friday), how they are to gather and what can be done in these gatherings. It also encourages singing and prayer and the use of instruments.

▲== Mahimavan Agranirupana ==
== Bas Magdamar ==
The Bas Magdamar is technically not a separate writing per se. The term Bas Magdamar was meant to mean the Ichtmar, the Vagumar and additions approved by the Council of Bingol together. Nevertheless, Yehudists, Obedists, and Ipsitists feel that the additions made under High King Melkezedek are separate writings altogether. These additions are known as the Bingolian or Melkezedekian additions. These additions are contained within a single book called the Government. The Government is mainly concerned with religious government. In the past people saw the religious government as part of the secular government. It contains the following chapters (these chapters were added later for readability, but this used to be one single text):
# Overview: It states that power to interpret and apply the Vagumar and Ichtmar shall rest with the Magisterium.
# Composition: This states that the Magisterium shall consist of Magisters. Magisters shall have the power to interpret and apply scripture as well as rule of religious cases.
# Hierarchy: Magisters shall consist of a hierarchy with the Senior Magisters having the right to train and induct new Magisters. Senior Magisters will be appointed by a High Magister who has control over the administrative and religious affairs of a Diocese. High Magisters are appointed by the Council of High Magisters. The Council of High Magisters has power over the entire religion and has the final say on all religious matters. It is led and chaired by the Grand Magister whom it elects.
# Catechism: It creates an instrument called a Bull. A Bull is an official interpretation of a religious matter and may arise from a case or self-study. Bulls can be overridden by a Magister who is higher in the ranking system. Where two bulls conflict, a Magister higher than that must decide which one is relevant. An interdict may be sought to suspend the enforcement or recognition of a bull until its validity is recognised by a higher Magister.
# Canonicity: The Book closes by stating that no additions or changes may be made to the Ichtmar, Vagumar (including the Bingolian Additions) and only the Magisterium shall have the power to interpret scripture.
