v1.c7.341
In the Oriental Mss. Library, Madras, there are more than a dozen Mss. bearing the title “Śilpa-śāstra” (Catalogue, vol. XXII. nos. 13046, 13047, 13048-13056, 13057). Of these two (nos. 13046, 13047) are attributed to Agastya, and one (no. 13057) to Viśvakarman. The rest of them are apparently compilations, as they are not ascribed to any author and contain frequent quotations from authorities like Kāśyapa, Mayamata, Viśva-karman, and Agastya.
