v1.c6.s17.162

(11) "In appendix B, the author (Gopinatha Rao) gives a detailed description of the uttama-daśatāla measure to be used in the making of images, and shows that the formal, apparently mechanical, rules for construction followed by Indian artists work out in practice as the adequate expression of æsthetic principles. The same subject has been treated on broader lines . . . . . . by Mr. W. S. Hadaway (see above), who is himself a worker in metal, with practical knowledge of the application of the rules. (The war, unfortunately, has prevented the author from continuing his valuable study, as he had hoped to do)."
