v2.c16.166
The other point proposed to be discussed here is that concerning the sources of the *Brihat-saṁhitā* in architectural matters. Varāhamihira says that the science of architecture has come down to him from Brahmā (Kamalabhū) through several generations of sages. He further admits that all matters relating to architecture are taken from Garga, and small portions of the architectural treatises of Manu and others have been put in from memory.¹
