v1.c3.5
Thus the terms included in this dictionary are primarily those found in the Mānasāra. But all the new architectural terms of any importance discovered in all the known architectural treatises, epigraphical documents, and general literature have also been added. I should estimate the new terms at about one-fourth of the total numbering approximately three thousand. No record has, however, been kept of the extent of the architectural manuscripts or the general literature searched, but some 50,000 pages of archæological documents have been gone through almost line by line.
