The common names of the types, the identity of their details, and the similarity in the description may not be accidental. The grades in the linguistic style and in the explicitness and precision of the description do not seem unconnected. And the variations in the number of types of buildings treated in these works may not also be meaningless. But before hazarding an opinion it will be better to compare some of the other important points of similarity between the *Mānasāra* and the architectural portions of the other works.
