All these matters are systematically treated in the standard work on the subject known as the \*Mānasāra\*. Under this short title the work has been catalogued and generally referred to. But the complete title, as appears from the seventy colophons of the text, is the \*Mānasāra-vāstu-śāstra\*. Some manuscripts have the title \*Mānavasāra\*. It is stated on the fly-leaf of some other manuscripts that those manuscripts were copied from a \*Śilpa-śāstra\* which is apparently meant to be the title of the original work.
