KĀŚYAPĪYA—(Manuscript), deals with architecture and cognate arts. (Govt. Mss. Library, Madras, Catalogue of Mss. vol. XXII. p. 8755 f., nos. 13032, 13033. See also Oppert's List of Sanskrit Mss. in Private Libraries of South India, vol. II. p. 395, no. 6336). “This work has attained universal authority amongst all the sculptors of South India up to the present time, and the young pupils are even now taught to learn by heart the verses given in this book regarding the rules of construction and measurements of images.”\∗ Kāśyapa is said to have learnt this science from Śiva (paṭala I, verses 1–5).
