As has already been suggested, these two parts of Maṇḍana's treatise, in some respects, seem to be two overlapping portions of one work. Other treatises ascribed to Maṇḍana are fragmentary and useless for any attempt to combine the several portions into a complete whole. The important points of this historical treatise are well worth notice. First its date is pretty certain, secondly it mentions the *Matsya-Purāṇa*, and lastly it contains a list of forty-five buildings, classified under five headings, bearing titles and giving details which correspond exactly with the lists and titles discovered in many important treatises.¹
